Making Gifts for the Garden
29 Jun 2017
The growing season is a great time to repurpose items for the garden. Here are 12 ideas.
By Eli Wallace To inject quick character into your garden, look no further than the objects in your home. Repurposing projects don’t need to be hugely complicated, so you can focus on fun while recycling items you no longer need or want. If you’re up for a bigger challenge, train your eye to see the hidden garden potential in raw materials. “We make lots of patio tables from reclaimed tops and metal bases,” says Joy Wallin of Boulder’s Reclaimed Style, which sells an eclectic mix of locally made art and items for the home and garden. “Right now I’m building elevated doggie diners from reclaimed wood that came from a deck behind my house.” Repurposed junk could become a centerpiece in your garden, too, so get inspired. The following projects are an easy place to start.Label Love
