A Few Clever Things

Oh what fun it is to stumble across something clever or unexpected in a garden. Something tiny, something shiny, an accessory to liven up the garden and give it character.

Here are a few of my favorite finds in gardens. Click on the image for a larger view.

Stumped? Make tables.

Topping a stump with a large flagstone, was my friend Annie's way to turn an unfortunate tree removal into a functional table top.

This brick walk was seen on a garden tour in Victoria B.C. It was one of my favorite finds. Unfortunately, I don't have the name of the garden it came from, so I can't credit the artist.

I came across this shed in an open field on Bainbridge Island in Washington state. This would be a wonderful fantasy for a child playhouse, or a functional, but fun tool shed.

I watched the rust take over this recycled art piece in my own garden, and it just became better.
