Art In The Garden
Almost anything can be art…it’s in the eye of the beholder! Art can consist of discarded tools, lumber, iron, water, stone, or a butterfly feeding station. Mass plantings, or growing plants on an arbor or trellis, can provide fun, beauty, and character in unique, artistic ways in your garden. Let’s explore the possibilities!
Additional Information
YOU are an artist; you just don’t know it yet! Singular or mass plantings, formal or informal gardening can all be enhanced by re-purposing everyday household items. Discarded tools, iron, water, stones, and signs can all be incorporated into your gardens. Mass plantings in planned patterns can provide extra beauty with a big statement. Make a peaceful haven among your plants with benches, statuary, and a touch of whimsy. Let your imagination be your inspiration!
Restrictions:
Availability: Anytime BUT limited daytime availability during months of March through June (I work at a Garden Center)
