Garden Decor

Decorating your backyard and/or garden needn't take alot of time or money. Get your children or grandchildren involved. How about some handprints or footprints for starters? These can be used in the sidewalk, patio, on a garage or shed wall. Use your imagination, I'm sure you can come up with an idea of your own.

Do you like sitting on the patio? When you are decorating your backyard and patio area you might want to consider adding a firepit.

You might even be tempted to make a s'more or two.

Ready Your Flower Pots

Spring is here!! And if you haven't prepared your flower pots it is time to do. What? You ask. Yes, you heard me right. Before you reuse your flower pots you should prepare them. By that I mean you should clean and sterilize them.
Scrub your pots with warm soapy water then rinse them in a bleach solution. This will get rid of any disease or fungi that may remain from the previous potting.

Sculptures

Sometimes just little things can change the look and feel of your backyard. The flowers, bushes and trees add beauty. The can also add food and refuge to the birds and other critters in your area.
How about "tucking" in a sculpture or statue here or there. How much fun would that be?

Wall Gardens

When you are designing your backyard gardens, think out of the box. One creative way to display plants is to build a wall of stones. Your wall doesn't have to encompass the whole yard, it can be just a small area.
Leave openings so you can plant some flowering plants.
