wagon art

22 years ago

Recently added an old iron wagon frame to our yard. My husband boxed it in with landscaping timbers and placed the wagon on timbers to raise it up higher. Need help trying to decide what to plant around the wagon. We don't want to hide the wagon but want just enough to enhance it. Any ideas?... The wagon measures 4 ft. wide and 9 feet long. It is just the frame with the wheels. If anyone has any ideas or pictures they would want to share it would be appreciated.

I'd put hostas all around.

How about vines and maybe a water feature?
My friend hung planter boxes on hers and has blooming annuals in it now; later, fall flowers with cornstalks, pumpkins, etc.

If I ya want to see mine I could e-mail it. I got the pictures of my yard on mu computer and can e-mail them but I can't figure out how to post them. I found an old buck board in the woods outside my kitchen window when we moved in. The woods had covered it with brush etc. We cleared it out and I made it into a large planter. I rocked a semi-circle in around the front from wheel to wheel and plant perennial in the back and annuals in the front.
