Barb R. (Our Fairfield Home and Garden) loves to repurpose items that would otherwise go to the landfill. Me too! Here she’s added a splash of colour to old curtain rods and wa-la: perfect hose guard. I shared one of her repurposed rakes in the previous roundup but couldn’t resist showing this one too: don’t you think it makes a charming birdhouse-art piece?

Barb C. (A Second Chance To Dream) created this headboard bench and pallet herb garden. Wall-mounted gardens are a great way to improve a garden fence or exterior wall. Little benches offer a place to display garden art in a flower bed.

Barb R.’s (Our Fairfield Home and Garden) raised bed you see here (above, left) is actually made from some plastic shutters that were going in the trash. While it’s totally functional, I see it as art too, bringing an unexpected burst of colour to the garden.

If you’ve been gardening a while, you start to cummulate broken tools. I’m pretty sure garden art originated from the days when there was no landfill to send them to so people just repurposed them into something new like this rake birdhouse (above, right).

I found this garden gnome rolling down the road in the middle of a wild wind storm! In other words, he found me. And he never looked right in the garden until I made him some giant toadstools to stand by. Now he fits right in. This is an easy project to make with kids.
