Odd Garden Decor

I’ve shown my readers a number of amusing photos of strange garden decor in the last month or so, but I think this one takes the cake. Or rather perhaps I should say this one hit a royal flush?

His and hers garden decor. The latest in garden, farm, or even front yard decoration is the toilet used as a planter. Even discarded toilets can eventually become a planter if left in place outdoors for a long period of time. I imagine that weeds would thrive in that kind of environment.

I’m always looking for fun garden photos. Please send me some fun snaps if you’ve seen some wacky garden decor.

  4. I’ve actually seen a couple of yards with the same decor! One of the yards had even added a bathroom sink as a planter. I don’t think it’s for me, though. I’ll stick with garden gnomes!

  6. Now isn’t that an interesting idea. Don’t think I’d do it, but you know what they say… “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.

    It’s nice to see a bit of Springtime though. I’m definitely tired of the snow!

  7. I am very interested in everything regarding home and garden decoration and I’m actually open for almost any kind of ideas but for me being quite honest, I doubt I would place a toilet in my yard or suggest to anybody else to do so and to use it as a planter. But maybe I’m just old fashioned.
    Sorry if my comment might sound negative to you. I’m just trying to be honest.

    • LOL PJ I wasn’t suggesting that anyone use an old toilet as garden decor … However some people do use odd things in their garden as planters and I thought this photo was humorous … didn’t you?

  8. i think it’s wonderful! Takes away all those no-no connotations surrounding a toilet and makes something beautiful and lasting. Think people..it’s not a toilet anymore–it’s a planter–it’s art–it’s sweet smelling and colorful! I always smile when I see such a thing.
