A Little Bit of Garden Whimsy............

Gardens can be soooo

boring

They need a little touch of fun and whimsy.

So,I thought I'd share our version of whimsy.

Sometimes,also known as

YARD ART!!!!!

This first piece is a collaberative effort between myself,and Erich,the Younger.When he was a wee-one he made the blue bird at summer camp.I felt it needed someplace special so it could shine.So I bought some copper pipe,bent it,wired it together with copper wire.

Voila'

A trellis thingy!You

HAVE

to have animals in a garden..........

And every good Southern garden should have

a toilet planter!!!!!!!

This one sits in our shade garden.The top part of it is still waiting to be attached.Eventually,that part will have ivy trailing down.

And now for the piece de resistance........

Our pink flamingo collection!

Yep-----

We collect pink flamingos,which are incredibly hard to find,I might add.Good ones,at least,are hard to find.Even tho we have a toilet planter,we don't want to be too horribly tacky,after all.So,our pink flamingos must be stylish and tasteful.

Every Florida garden should a pink flamingo,or two.Or three......Or,maybe,even

six......

Gardens should be

fun

places,after all.
