Isn’t it time you accessorized your garden?

by Tricia

In my part of the world many of us are only dreaming about our gardens since they are still covered in snow or if not covered in snow the ground is still to cold to begin to work in. Still … many of us are probably beginning to think about what we’ll plant in our gardens this year, and if you’re like me your probably getting a little stir crazy indoors.

I certainly can’t wait for Spring to get here!

If you’re a gardener or perhaps hoping to start your first garden this year you’re probably busy making lists of plants you want to get for your garden, and starting some seeds indoors. While plants are the main feature of the garden don’t forget the accessories.

You can give your garden it’s own style or infuse a little more of your personality or even your sense of humor with garden decor an ornaments.

The article that I’m including below talks about how to accessorize your garden. Have you accessorized? I’d love to hear what you’ve done or even see some pictures!

Our Garden’s Evolution

by Tricia

I joined Gardenweb in the Winter of 2001 as I was planning our garden. The following is an excerpt from my gardenweb member page:

2001

“I’ve recently purchased a house and I’m looking forward to starting my garden next year. I plan to landscape the backyard so that it will have several areas of floral plants, a vegetable garden, and a pond surrounded by a rock garden.

I’m not new to gardening- but new to creating my own garden. When I was a child my parents always had a nice vegetable garden, flowering trees, and flower beds that needed tending. We also had two very large vegetable gardens at our cottage …. so yes I have quite a bit of past experience weeding and growing vegetables in particular. ”

Well, the garden that I was dreamily planning was started in the spring of 2001 and has grown from there. Read the next post for another excerpt from my gardenweb members page regarding the progress of our garden.
