ORGANIZED CLUTTER'S Junk Garden Tour 2016
July 27, 2016
Welcome to my 2016 junk garden tour!
Since my house faces north, I have shade lovers like hosta, Solomon's Seal and impatiens planted under my bay window.
I have had this potting sink for several years now. It's a fun display piece. The cabinet door frame project with the B from 2014 is still a popular post on my blog.
The Black Eyed Susan containers and trellis's are new this year from a garage sale. The window frame planter was part of my winter wonderland Christmas mantel in 2015.
Gold Dust Mercardonia is one of the underused annuals I covered on my blog this year. The little mounding plant is covered with small yellow blossoms.
This is the thrift shop banana tree Chick Starter that I made earlier this year using the Mod Podge image transfer method.
The weathered gray bistro set was from a neighbor's garage sale in 2015.
This small flower bed is planted with fuchsia supertunias, Margueritte Daisies Butterfly, and Crazytunia Sparky in the enamelware coffeepot on a stool.
The rusty cultivator part is new to my junk gardens this year.
This junk garden vignette with fuchsias, impatiens, coleus, and creeping Jenny is situated on the northwest corner of my house.
My front yard border is always a mix of annuals, perennials and junk. I add vertical interest with signs, a stepladder, funnel planters, and tall perennials.
I use bright colored annuals to keep the border interesting all summer long.
Asiatic Lilies are a favorite in my front border.
A stenciled shovel head from a garage sale fills in a gap in the border.
The Flower Market sign was inspired by the Homeroad blog and Old Sign Stencils.
My wheelbarrow is an old favorite of mine. It is my very first junk garden piece. The laundry tub is planted with white Margueritte daisies and nicotiana.
My deck is on the west side of my house, off the kitchen.
My white garden bike basket planter has shade loving fuchsias.
I love red impatiens best of all shade loving annuals.
This year I planted wax begonias with the hostas and sedums here.
Rusty milk cans, chicken feeders and galvanized mop buckets along the side of the deck.
Succulents in and among an old typewriter.
Southwest corner of the deck.
The pink annual baby's breath is a little dry following a week of hot weather.
I whitewashed the bench and stenciled the galvanized tool box HERE.
I pound finishing nails in the deck rail and drill small holes in the bottoms of my rustic birdhouses so they don't blow off the deck!
This Kiddie Gym Swing was a new addition to the junk garden this year.
I added a thrift shop gun rack to an old barn door and stenciled a new garden sign HERE.
This was another fun project with coffeepots on stakes and an Old Sign Stencils coffee sign.
Enjoy a slideshow tour!
I hope you enjoyed this year's tour!

ReplyDeleteBrenda
As always, I love seeing your junk garden, flowers, and deck! Very appealing to the eyes!
ReplyDeleteCarlene, I love the idea with the gun rack! I see them all the time and hate to pass them up but I can never think of what I can do with them. This is a great idea! Instead of leaning my sharpshooter and rake wherever I stood, I can put them here where I know they will be the next time I need them. Super idea!
ReplyDeleteYou have the most wonderful gardens, Carlene...always pure eye candy!
ReplyDeleteLove your creativity!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME gardens!

ReplyDeleteLove your tour!!! I have a lot of garden junk and a ranch style house.

I still want a farmhouse but you have given me hope on how to make my garden junk work!!! Thanks for the inspiration.

ReplyDeleteYou are amazing. I keep collecting junk and it looks like I collect junk! How to keep your wood boxes from rotting?
