Art in the Garden....
Art of any kind can be a wonderful addition to any type of garden...a deck with many containers with art or a large outdoor garden featuring ones own special treasures. In my yard I have art in the trees, in a specific flower area, on the walls of my home and my deck chairs are even adorned with unique art finds. Some I have created myself over the years and some of my best pieces come from summer yard sales...It is so amazing what ones finds every friday and saturday in my local area. So adding some special Art to a garden makes a very special statement and extra scenic beauty! Enjoy the garden!
