Upcycle ideas for the garden, including photos. While the thrill of the hunt can sometimes be enticing, remember that new should balance old. Having too many old items (or new items) can take away from your garden's overall appeal . . . If you enjoy this Magazine, you will love my blog: http://upcycledgardenstyle.blogspot.com

Made from used food jars, you can decorate them with flat-bottom marbles (or whatever you like), and place them in the garden. Tiny toys and secret notes can be hidden inside—like little time capsules in your garden.

Cooking in the garden!
Debra Anchors's insight:
For the DIY'er this should be fairly simple with a gas stove top (can be purchased as a "replacement" part for a real gas stove) and gas grill hose. Once built, you can protect your outdoor stove with a grill cover.

What are the advantages of this system? The most obvious is the ability to grow many plants in a small space. It’s an interesting way to maximize the production of a small garden, or to grow strawberries on a deck or balcony.
But there are other advantages. Since the plants are off the ground, you’ll be able to grow very clean, very high-quality berries. Disease problems can be minimized with the off-the-ground approach, particularly in a greenhouse where constant airflow is provided.

Le printemps est là... enfin presque!!!
Votre balcon n'est pas très grand mais vous êtes gourmand... voici un style de présentation "gain de place" à mettre où bon vous semble, mais au soleil! pour des fruits bien mûrs.
Très facile à mettre en place dans un tuyau en PVC.
Bonne plantation et surtout très bonne dégustation...

I enjoy displaying a few vintage blue insulators in the birdbath. Clearly, these Western Bluebirds enjoy them as well!

@DIY Doctor - The might be a North American thing. They used to cover the wooden spokes of the electrical poles - wires would wrap around the glass hubs. They are fairly heavy for their size, a thick glass. Sometimes I can still find them in the ditches around train tracks in the middle of nowhere. They were much easier to find years ago. Now everything is "collectible".

Here is an idea for displaying your garden planters no matter what their condition. The "Rest in Pieces" sign is easy enough to make out of recycled materials too. How will you adapt this to your garden?

The showy flowers of allium bloom in early summer and carry a sweet, pungent scent. If you garden outside of USDA Zones 4-7, or in a state that prohibits the growth of allium, you can obtain the illusion of the plant by creating spheres carrying their form.

These natural and durable building materials provide a very cool contrast to elegant succulent plants. Used bricks work even better because they have a bit of personality and history behind them, and they are inexpensive (if they are used, they are probably thrown away, so they are free)! The tricky part is to drill the holes, it not very difficult but you’ll have to be very patient, because any shock could shatter the brick.

I do notice that there are not many "bright" bottles in this wall, either. I find that local bars and restaurants will save them when asked, as long as they are picked-up each week.
