An old wicker chair that I normally would have tossed is now a focal point in my garden. I had seen one like this at Buena Creek Gardens, one of my favorite nurseries. I painted mine a beautiful periwinkle purple and placed a dove planter in the center of the worn seat. She seems happy here with her “nest of plants.” The clay frog covered with sea shells was also found at Buena Creek Gardens.
Don’t be afraid to try something new in your garden; add found objects from estate sales to brighten and surprise your visitors. Create a place for your eyes to rest upon while strolling along a pathway. Over time you will create a magical place.
"The only limit to your garden is at the boundaries of your imagination."
-Thomas D. Church
