There's something really special about garden art. Maybe it's because a garden by itself is a work of art, a sacred place where the magic of nature happens, but when combined with human innovation and creativity, becomes something even more special.
Either way, I'm back again with my 12th (!!) 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!
