The Upcycled Garden Volume 13: Using Recycled & Salvaged Materials In Your Garden



In each of my Upcycled Garden blog posts I share  great ideas for unique DIY garden art that will hopefully inspire you to be innovative and think about how you can create your own upcycled garden creation.

I'm back again with my 13th installment of The Upcycled Garden, where you will find my picks for the very best ideas for using repurposed, recycled, and salvaged materials in your garden and outdoor landscape. 

So enough chat and let's get on to these beautiful ideas! Be sure to let me know which is your favorite. Leave me a comment below and share with us your own best garden upcycle project - we'd love to hear all about it!
