LOW BUDGET WAYS TO ADD WHIMSICAL DECOR TO YOUR GARDEN
First take a walk around your own yard and see what you can find. Keep an eye out for interesting limbs, old logs, rocks or boulders, old fencing, broken flower pots, etc. If you have littles, get them involved. My five year old grandson now looks for big rocks for his Nana’s garden. Be creative!
Rocks and boulders make awesome borders around your gardens. Or even just a small pile of field stones with flowers growing around and through them looks super cute.
Logs look great in the garden with flowers as a backdrop. They also look cool hollowed out and used as planters. Birch logs especially look amazing in gardens. Use them to add height in a flower pot.
Logs can be used to make very whimsical statement pieces. We had several trees cut down and I’m always foraging through the wood pile for an interesting log or limb. In this example, the piece of wood was rotten in the middle, so it worked well to plant marigolds in the hollowed out middle.
I also use logs like tables or stands to add height to planters. Create little scenes, or vignettes, with garden art pieces you have on hand. If you’d like to see how my husband made the branch ladder in this picture, check outEasy DIY Garden Decor Using Tree Brancheswhen you’ve finished up here.
