Lillies Under the Lamp Post

I've decided this Spring I'll be planting some bulbs. I've started with two types of Lillies in this unique lamp post planter. I've also added an update to my strawberry container garden at the end.

Bright White Planter

Repainting garden structures can not only make them stand out more, it can also stamp a little of your personality or agenda on it. No need to go out and buy new garden planters when my existing one just needs a fresh coat of paint!

Gifts for the Garden - July 2018


The gift I received this month is from a Fairy Follower. When she realized there was no more room in her yard for this unique planter, she offered it to me. This gift will go in my fairy garden and be home to a container garden I plan to create with some of my micro decorations.

Gifts for the Garden - June 2018


Lets take a look at all the lovely gifts I received from My Fairy Folks this month!

This planter stand and the bench were given to me by one of my oldest followers. The tiny Garden Gnome book came from a new follower - hello and welcome! This DIY door was spotted by one of My Fairy Folks in Los Angeles during a shopping trip and it made her think of me. How wonderful to know that I'm in your thoughts when you're out and about! The trail sign and pen came from one of my granddaughters. The pen is great for taking notes on paper and my tablet since it has a soft tip for touch screens.

World Bicycle Day

In April of this year according to Wikipedia, the United Nations declared June 3 an official "day of awareness about the multiple societal benefits of using the bicycle for transport and leisure." This day has been dubbed World Bicycle Day. In honor of this new holiday, I dug through my photo history to pull up some instances of bicycles in my garden.


This double planter bicycle was purchased many years ago. It was weather-beaten so I spent a day with my granddaughter repainting it. We first put a white coat and then a purple so that it would stand out more in the garden (it was originally black).


Here you can see the bicycle was used in a Mother's Day gift post in 2016. I do have plans to bring this unique planter back into my garden this Summer after some sprucing up.


This smaller bicycle planter was gifted to me by one of My Fairy Folks. I think it would be a good thing to repaint with a bright color, but it came to me in such good condition, I don't feel it's right to cover that just yet. When it becomes more weathered, I think I'd like to paint the seat green and the rest of the bike with a bright pop of color.
