Add a broken tree limb to my flower bed for decoration
I found a beautiful piece of a tree limb that twisted off during a storm, it was beautiful just like it is but I need to dress it up. Hopefully your ideas will help me. I am sending a photo of the-raw piece, it stands about 5’ tall

Find a strategic place in one of your flower gardens. Whether it be on a corner of the house, near a tree, or in the middle of a garden. You could spray it with some exterior poly. It does add an element of interest especially since it is so large.
Put in an a shady area and let moss grow on it. You can smear some potting soil on it and add some moss. If kept damp it will continue to grow.
I agree with Gk, apply the poly to bring out the natural beauty of the tree limb.
I would just set it in the garden and plant some grasses, vines around it.
Vickie: Spray paint (with outdoor paint!) it a fun color (turquoise?) and make it a piece of garden art! (Keep in shade, if you don't want it to fade.)
Is this branch thick enough to do something like this. https://uniquecreationsbyanita.com/succulent-tree/
Hi Vickie, yes that is beautiful. Have you thought of adding small twinkle lights to the piece, I think it would be beautiful at night. Stay well.
Well Peggy just took my answer. I would put in in the bed in the picture with some battery operated twinkle lights.
Hello. I woukd seal with a clear sealer place it in a pot with solar lighting with a swivel uplight feature.
Place in a strategic spot and plant a vining plant at the base, eventually you can make the vine tril "up" the branch. Could be very beautiful. Another idea is to install the branch in a corener and get a solar landscaape light in front to enhance the look in the evening.
you could dress it up by adding battery power lights - you can paint it as well
