A Fire Pit Fairy Garden ~ Two Versions, Choose Your Favorite!
My dear friend recently asked if I wanted this rusted-out fire pit for a project of some sort. “Knowing you, you’ll make something cute out of it!” she said. And so I did. But, there was a slight problem. I had two ideas and couldn’t decide which one I liked better! My solution was to
Fresh Flower Basket for May Day or Mother’s Day!
Don’t spend money at the florist for May baskets or Mother’s Day. Gather your own beautiful blooms! Each year I keep on the lookout for new baskets on clearance or gently used from garage sales to make my floral arrangements. These pretty metal hearts I picked up for a song at a yard sale last
It’s About Blooming Time ~ Spring Potting Time!
Well, it’s about blooming time, isn’t it? That was without a doubt one of the longest winters I can remember and I, for one, am glad to finally have spring here again. Even now, the days are deceptively warm and the nights shockingly cold. So, during the day, the herb and vegetable starts come

Signs of Spring at Our Fairfield Home & Garden
Signs of Spring are everywhere now. The winter was a long one and all the spring blooms are about two weeks behind, but they are here! Greening lawns, leaf buds on trees and shrubs and the constant bird activity and song tell me there’s no going back now. My biggest temptation, as usual, is to
DIY Project : Spring Windowbox Time!
At long last, Spring! Bird song heralds the day’s start. Crocus, snowdrops and tete a tete daffodils are blooming, seemingly overnight, after only a warm day or two. To celebrate the beginning of spring, I like to change out the winter windowboxes to early spring blooms. My secrets revealed, I don’t actually plant in soil!
Earth Day ~ 50+ Ideas to Green our Lives & Communities
Earth Day is celebrated world-wide on April 22nd. We all want a healthy environment to live in and to leave our descendants. But sometimes we are so bombarded with environmental issues and their consequences that solutions seem overwhelming and we feel powerless to affect change in the world. So I sat down and brainstormed
Garden Inspirations ~ The Garden Charmers Favorite Gardens
Some of my Garden Charmers friends and I recently compared notes about our most memorable garden visits. All seasoned gardeners know the best place to turn for garden inspiration is to beautiful gardens. We live in different parts of the country, in different growing zones, and each of us has our own unique growing
Burlap ~ a thrifty container liner
Container planting baskets and hayracks are such lovely garden accents, but have you seen how much the replacement liners cost? Ours had lasted about five years but were finally too tattered to look good or hold the soil in the container any more. Coco-fiber replacement liners were twenty dollars or more apiece! So I
Galvanized Garden ~ Repurposed Container Planting
When our waste management company provided large, rolling plastic containers, we were left with an assortment of galvanized trash cans. Then we moved and inherited more cans and wash tubs! What to do with too many galvanized containers? Why, make a galvanized garden, of course! Drill drainage holes in the bottoms of the cans first.
