Ideas for Decorating Your Garden with Personal and Everyday Items

Garden Whimsy or Garden Junk?

From Marie Iannotti, About.com

Gardening Forum member, Magpie, threw down the gauntlet with these photos of what she called her 'Garden Junk'. She hoped other members would show their personal garden design style with photos of the decorations in their own gardens. Well, we're still waiting for someone to answer the challenge.

Magpie's heading 'Garden Junk' doesn't begin to do service to her sense of humor and style. I'm sure she can't be alone out there in having fun using everyday items to add an element of surprise to her gardens. If so, I hope these photos inspire you to add some unexpected whimsy to your own gardens. If you do - or already have - send in your photos to share. We're all always looking for more ways to express ourselves in the garden.
