I am so over this wet, cold, snowy weather we’ve had here in the Pacific Northwest! How about you?
I visited the Northwest Flower & Garden Show this weekend, courtesy of the Seattle Homes & Lifestyles Magazine, and began dreaming of that early spring that the groundhog promised us this year.
It’s almost time to get out there and start planting and I cannot wait!
This fairy-tale inspired one is a little fancy, but I love the idea of a living wall. I may just have the perfect place on the side of my house.
I think I need to spend more time scouring the roadsides for free items I could use in my garden. Recycling old materials for the garden is something I have been wanting to try more of. This idea gives new meaning to the term garden “bed”.
I don’t think I’m quite crafty enough for this…
But this I could do!
I am really digging these stone faces. Do you like these or do you think they are creepy? I kind of think both myself.
Beautifully creepy!
What bright colorful mushrooms these are. I don’t usually go for this look, but these really caught my eye.
I am especially looking forward to the plantings that we get to enjoy at the dinner table. I’m planning on trying tomatoes yet again this year (even though my husband says I am a glutton for punishment) and of course planting more herbs, and maybe even a vegetable garden finally.
Wouldn’t these recycled silverware markers be so much fun in the garden? Right up my alley!
I didn’t realize that the show would make me so hungry 
Most of all, I am looking forward to entertaining.
Is this a little over the "top"? So adorable!
I just love entertaining – especially outdoors. From a bbq with the family, to a sweet brunch in the garden with my girlfriends.
This summer I am finally going to dig out, clean up, and use this beautiful antique garden cart I got for a steal at a rummage sale a few years ago. I think it would make a perfect bar cart for the bloody Mary bar at Alexandra Hedin’s Garden Brunch I guest blogged about over at Girl Power Hour. Read about it here.
Now if I can just get my deck finished…
Loved all the ideas and photos.Boy would that be fun finding all these treasures at yardsales/fleamarkets.Silverplate I have ,could you please send me a individual pic. of the garden markers ,maybe I can give ppl.here a idea so they will buy my old silverplate.
And as always pat on the back for job well done.
Thanks Diana! I’d be happy to send the photos – what a great idea for recycling all that old silver
It’s was great to go the the Flower & Garden show = THANKS! Duh didn’t realize till I saw your picture of the growing wall that it was person. So much inspiration! Hope I can find that canning/bottle holder for you next time I’m out yard saling with my sister.
I just recently started looking for new articles on proven growing plans. Several of my best supplies were found by searching online. Although this story was not exactly what I was expecting, It certainly has many unique gardening related ideas!
I’m glad that you enjoy our plant markers. I wanted to be sure that your readers know that they are protected by a US Patent, since it wasn’t caught in the photo or mentioned in the description.
