garden 'snakes'

17 years ago

I'm new, & love all the great ideas everyone has! I took an old piece of copper gas line, curved it up & down, then painted it a green color, similar to a garden snake. I put it in a flower bed, where it scared my (adult) daughter! The intent was for it to look like a snake, so I did ok. I also take old pizza type sattelite dishes, put chain in the little holes, & hang for bird feeders. Usually add thin wire, multi-colored beads, paint, whatever I can find to decorate them. Have lots of bird houses, feeders, watering pans & little things everywhere. Good thing I don't have neighbors!

Would love to see your garden. Is there a snake that scares off real snakes? lol I'd like to make one of those.

Yes, pictures please. I love the idea of using "dishes" for bird feeders. Your garden sounds fun! I seem to have an abundance of bowling balls and after covering a few with various things, am looking for idea's for 3 or more in a row.
