Take A Virtual Tour Of This Amazing Junk Garden

The last time I featured this garden over a year ago there were comments that the decor contained too many pieces of rusty metal. This time there is far less rust in evidence although there are many recycled items used both as containers and decor. The old wheelbarrow shown above is a good example of what you will find below – masses of colorful blooms in unusual settings. This garden tour gallery has been created by Carlene and comes from her Organized Clutter website.

Welcome to my annual junk garden tour!

There were times I was discouraged about this year’s tour… ?We had an unusually wet and cool spring and early summer, but it has turned around some, and I am happy to share my tour. ?Be sure to scroll all the way down to the bottom and see the garden video!

Lets start the tour here at this small flower bed next to the driveway. ?Earlier this year I found a Formica table with a metal base at the thrift shop. ?I discarded the table top and added a board and then a laundry tub to give this bed some vertical height.

This is a wide angle shot of the potting bench area, and my covered patio is at the back left.

This galvanized container on a homemade clothes rack is planted with Golden Creeping Jenny, White Knight Alyssum, red verbena, a red petunia, and a red diascia.

This red, white and blue vignette started out with a red garage sale stool and an Old Sign Stencils Buffalo Check stenciled oil can.
