In A Summer Garden ~ Our Fairfield Home & Garden
August, the time of waking to early light and birdsong. Warm breezes enjoyed from a shady chair after garden-tending. The aroma of a barbeque on the grill wafts across the way.

Field Trip: Potting Bench From A Dresser! (and other ideas gathered in Lancaster County, PA)

What do you do with thirty-two salvaged shutters? Well, one of the projects I did with fourteen of them was building a fence/screen to define a new garden area in our yard. The shutters were salvaged from a friend’s home that had just been painted. They decided to go for a more modern look
Build A Raised Bed Garden ~ Our Fairfield Home & Garden
Ever since I made two raised garden beds out of my neighbor’s cast-off shutters, I have wanted more! But, unfortunately, materials to repurpose were just not coming my way.
