I think I may have an unhealthy obsession with bird houses….
I need a collection of these.
I’m pretty sure I could make a tea pot bird house.
We’ve grown gourds before but never done anything with them.
And I’ve just decided what the kids are getting for Christmas next year!
I am trying to mitigate the bird house thing with other garden pretties…
These beaded garden stakes look pretty, and easy enough for the kids to help make.
We’ve made spider webs like this one for climbing veggies before and they are always fun.
Our neighbors have a little pine forest so I think we could collect enough pine cones to make a lovely rain chain, but I’m not sure where we could hang it.
I adore this stacked rock sculpture… I need to start collecting suitable rocks now!
Of course all these things would look lovely… if we had a garden instead of a forest of weeds!
What garden pretties would you put in your dream garden?

These boxes (http://hollowloghomes.com/ )- are not so pretty, more natural beauty, but make a real difference. Al and Stace are an amazing couple who have raised a family while living a real commitment to the environment Check it out
An obsession with birdhouses? You and me both!

In my dream garden, I would have a lot of gnome statues. I would also have a comfy bench, surrounded by wild flowers. It would be our outdoor reading spot. Not too far away would be our huge plot of vegetables!
It’s winter here, but Spring is on the way… sooner or later :)
