The Upcycled Garden Volume 18: Using Recycled & Salvaged Materials In Your Garden

 Hey friends! Here we are again; another garden is upon us, and I always look forward to putting together my Upcycled Garden blog posts for you each year. Here we are at volume 18! Enjoy this garden aesthetic inspiration and read on below for some of my best tips for using recycled & salvaged materials in your garden! Happy summer!

Small Hanging Metal Sculptures: Metal sculptures are always popular garden decorations. Why not try your hand at making your own?

Birdbaths: Use old birdbaths in your garden but in new ways: as planters, for candles, or as a butterfly feeder - each unique piece of garden art.

Flowers: Display plants and flowers in unexpected containers.

Rustic Birdhouses: Use old wood scraps and bits and baubles to create a rustic-style birdhouse for your backyard feathered friends.

  I hope you are having a great summer! 

Stay tuned for my newest book, coming soon!

The Upcycled Garden Volume 17: Using Recycled & Salvaged Materials In Your Garden

 

Hey friends! Here we are again, another garden is upon us, and I always look forward to putting together my Upcycled Garden blog posts for you each year. Here we are at volume 17! Enjoy this garden aesthetic inspiration and read on below for some of my best tips for using recycled & salvaged materials in your garden! Happy summer!

Old Glass Bottles: Use vintage bottles (I especially love different-colored ones) to catch sunlight and add a magical glimmer to your garden.

Metal Sculptures: Metal sculptures are always popular garden decorations. Why not try your hand at making your own?

China Sculptures: Use old china bowls, teapots, and other chinaware to create unique garden art.

Garden Totem: Garden totems are becoming more popular this year and are a great way to add a pop of color to your outdoor space.

Rain Chains: Use links of wire and chain to attach large beads, charms, and findings to create your own rain chain.

Rustic Birdhouses: Use old wood scraps and bits and baubles to create a rustic-style birdhouse for your backyard feathered friends.

  I hope you are having a great summer!
