Unique Garden Art

Barb got creative with the skelton of a hibiscus tree from a previous year!  Sprayed with red paint it is now an attractive addition to her Garden Art Collection for her garden beds!

Bowling in the hostas!

A new garden art concept!

It is absolutely "striking" to see these artful globes seemingly dancing above the hostas in this garden!

Simple to do, they are mounted on a piece of rebar by sticking it in the thumb hole of the ball!   Left out all Minnesota winter they do fade a bit, but must look decorative in the snow also!

Garden Tour came to my house!

What a fun experience!  A Garden Tour from a nearby town stopped by recently on a Saturday morning!  The big attraction to my small yard was the Fairy Gardens I make, I think.  I have over 30 this year!

Fairy Garden Fun.....

Recently I was invited to do a 20 minute  "Introduction to Fairy Gardening" presentation  to a group of 50 ladies at a luncheon!

Turned out to be a fun event!  Two gals from our Class of  1956 noticed the article in the paper with my name as a speaker and decided to come and check it out, so that was a fun surprise for me.

I took along a variety of smaller Fairy Gardens along to show how easy it is to have one of your own and care for it.  

A mighty tall lily!

My gardening friends, Denny and Sherri, invited us out to view their newest lily that was blooming!
Wow, my Denny is 6'6" tall and he is standing next to this tall lily!  They recently counted 30 blossoms on it open at once!

Not only is it tall, it is an absolutely beautiful lily!

 

My favorite gardener!

My Denny and his private garden!   He has this spot of sun at the lake by the road that he claims as his!   The only spot he will weed!  Notice the grass is beginning to grow over our recent holding tank installation area!

Ponds...

We saw some awesome ponds this summer....

I think I captured some of the sound to enjoy also.....
