Any ideas what to do with this old bird bath?
+8
I unburied this old bird bath in some shrubs and would love some ideas. I saw one for planting cactus chicks in it. Looking for a few other ideas as well.
Most bird baths are on the shallow side, hens and chicks I would plant.
Build a fairy garden, with moss, and whatever miniatures you want.
Plant any small growing succulent or house leaks..........Or why not fill it with water for the birds..............?

Hi Jolene...what great find! Since these are somewhat shallow, it will still hold water and cause a misquote problem. What you put in this will have to be something you can mound to keep out standing water.
I see it filled with a mound of dirt, moss on top, and a gazing ball sitting on top. If you get a storm and it does hold a little water, just tilt it and pour the water out.
(I love the fairy garden idea too!)
Post photos!!
I think I will do a mix of a fairy garden and a nursery for my succulent starts. Heres my succulents.
I like the fairy garden Idea when a solar light in it.
Thanks Janet! I saved a few pics off that website for inspiration.
I totally agree with Phy2081661, the bird bath is so whimsical!!!
