I am quickly working through my stash of scrap wood during this time at home and I luckily never seem to be out of projects. Today I'm creating scrap wood garden markers for our garden that's just about finished. 

Do you have a vegetable garden?
Maybe large pots with tomato plants?
My husband and I did our best to create a modest garden space a couple of years ago when we were home. 
Today I'm going to brag on my very talented daughter and and show you how she built an amazing vegetable garden on the side of their house.
Talk about garden goals! 

I've been spending the days working out in the yard now that Spring has sprung!
I'm repurposing old garden decor by giving things a new coat of paint or even completely redoing them. 
Today was one of those projects. 
When I found that my garden trellis had broken over the winter I decided to give it a new life. 
Take a look...

I've waited a while to share this post because I was hoping to show you how beautiful the garden looks inside this new DIY garden fence.

It's garden time in our area! Finally! 
Truth be told I'm not great with plants but I have been known to grow a nice flower garden. 
Today I'm turning a great road-side find into signs for my garden. 
I love using rusty tubs and found junk items in my garden and today's project is no different...

A fun project using an old repurposed lamp fixture.

The tote I'm transforming today for my gardening has been one of my favorites for a long time. 
I used this tote to carry my craft supplies, labels, and tags to craft shows. 
With one easy swipe of a stencil I'm transforming it into my new favorite garden tote. 
Take a look....

Do you know what a garden hod is? If you don't, I didn't either. 
I called it a basket, a basket to gather vegetables from the garden. Or a basket for eggs from the chicken coop.
As soon as I figured out what it was I was ready to make one of my own and with the pieces I found on the side of the road... today was the day! 
Take a look...

Every beautiful garden needs a rustic garden sign or two. 

This was a quick little project that used up the last pieces of old picket fence I found on the side of the road. 

This adorable garden project began in the workshop, but even before that it started many years ago in someone's kitchen. 

Welcome to my garden with a beautifully stenciled repurposed footed sign.

Anything I can gather to fill with plants on the deck is good with me! 
I've used galvanized pots, watering cans, and oil cans for flowers and they look beautiful. 
Today I'm building a tote that can hold flowers or garden tools! 
Take a look at what unique items I put together for this easy project! 

Recently I was given a bag full of individual succulents. 
I'm not a big plant person but I have been known to keep succulents alive. 
Today I'm going to make an adorable planter garden for these plants. 
I'm thinking it will make a great Mother's Day gift! 

I saw the cutest wooden owl stakes while perusing Pinterest recently and just had to give it a try! If you're a Pinterest lover please follow along! 
The owls I saw were actually made from wood scraps and weren't painted at all. 
After an image search on Google I was unable to find the original source so I'm creating my own version for you today. 
Check these out...

When I set up my potting bench for the spring I realized I had a lot of terra cotta pots in all sizes. 
Then when I saw different configurations for herb gardens on Pinterest, I realized had just the supplies I needed!
Three terra cotta pots in 3 different sizes were almost all I needed to create a gorgeous herb garden for my deck! 
Take a look...

An outdoor market sale was on the agenda this weekend and as usual I found a treasure, it didn't start out as a treasure but it sure was! 


Everything at the outdoor market was very inexpensive and priced to go, including this wooden box. I'm not sure what the purpose of this was supposed to be, looks like some kind of mass produced DIY flower box that never happened. The price was right, $3 was about my budget so I brought it home. This is also something you could do by creating your own rectangular box with rails. 

When I got home I decided that the wooden rail I bought with this wooden box should be attached. I cut 2 pieces of trim and attached the wooden rail to the top of the box so it would stand up high behind the box. I painted the wood with raw silk by Fusion Mineral Paint. R…

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?

Thanks for visiting and I hope you've found some inspiration in my DIY garden projects.

A garden tote with a screened bottom  is the perfect carrier for the garden...

I'm using what I have and looking forward to getting outside and working in the garden soon. So I'm going to need a sign.
