Salvaged ! The 32 Shutter Challenge ~ repurposing shutters in the garden

Shutter Challenge

I had pretty much given up hope on pulling ivy in part of our back garden and resigned myself to just making it look halfway decent with garden accents. Then, last year a neighbor gave me ten shutters and I made two raised garden beds from them. It really worked, a way to garden even

Container Gardens ~ Our Fairfield Home & Garden

  Container gardens are so handy! Quick and easy to make, they fill that bare spot where nothing will grow, add a pop of needed color and lend interest and whimsy to the garden. Most anything can be planted. You’re only limited by your own imagination! As long as there is drainage and enough soil

Garden Ladders

Looking through pictures of my past and present gardens, I saw a theme forming ~ Garden Ladders! I haven’t met an old ladder I didn’t love and have put lots of them to use as garden accents. Old ladders make a great trellis for vines such as clematis and moonflowers. You can add vintage gardening
