Want to have some inexpensive, fun garden accents? Go Kitchen Kitschy using Dollar Store items and used culinary accessories in your garden!

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

Salvaged ~ Build A Fence From Shutters!
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.

Salvaged ~ Build A Shutter Arbor!
If you can use an electric drill and a screwdriver, you can make your own garden arbor out of salvaged shutters. Lay the pieces out on the ground and attach one shutter on to the tops of two others. A strip of pressured treated wood was added for extra stability on the bottom

Salvaged ~ Build A Potting Bench From Shutters!
When you are given thirty-two old wooden shutters there’s a lot of projects to make! Here’s what I made from just four of them – a potting bench. Right next to the garden and attached to the garden shed, this potting bench is in the perfect location. If you can use a saw

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

May Garden ~ Our Fairfield Home & Garden
April showers brought May flowers a little later this year. But now they are putting on their annual show, waking us all from the doldrums that set in over that long winter. Unfortunately, there was die-back in some of our hydrangeas and we lost all the butterfly bushes, a fig tree and a vitex. But
