Homes-n-gardens garden art & crafts from the garden

-Garden Art:
I think garden art is a personal thing. Pretty much like how we decorate our own homes.
Some people like a lot of everything and some people like, just a few things.
While others, don't want any of it around their yard.

I guess I'm somewhere in the middle.
I have a small yard and I like it to be calm and uncluttered. So, 3 - 4 items are usually enough.
I have birdhouses hanging on the fence, a terra cotta plaque from my daughter, a small statue that I saved from someone's trash because some naughty kid took mine.
Every garden has to have some noisy wind chimes, driftwood and birdbaths. So, maybe the 3 - 4 items in one's garden, doesn’t apply to mine.

Birdbaths:
I just have tomato cages that I pushed in the ground where I wanted my birdbaths to be.
Then I found plant saucers to fit the tomato cage opening and that's it!
They’re easy to clean and easy to fill.

I also turned upside some large pots and used that as a stand for a large saucer.
Garden art to me is a simple decision, if it makes me happy and it complements my home and garden, it stays. :)
