Yesterday was the Town of Grand Island’s annual garden, so my friend Lee Tetkowski and I explored some of Grand Island’s gardens. There was so much to see. So much creativity in gardens. Each garden was different and unique, and each garden had a story to tell. Today, I am going to share via photographs some of the fun that I found in gardening.
Below are some of the ways that gardeners found to bring a bit of humor and happiness to their gardens:
 |
| The bike’s wheels have spun for the last time, but the bike is still fun, festooned with flowers. |
 |
| Garden boots, magically transformed into planters. |
 |
| If you spend enough time gardening, you’ll create plenty of planters. |
 |
And if you also like the beach? Here’s another fun footwear plan for your garden!
I don’t know if I look good bending over! Do you???
|
 |
| Oh! Apparently, you can audition for the job, but someone kind of got a bit carried away and bent too far! |
 |
| Well, we’re back to the fancy footwear. There are so many ways to decorate your garden, especially if you are fond of feet (that would probably make you a cat!!!)???? |
 |
| What could be more fun than a tea party in a garden? These are some pretty fancy chairs and table! |
 |
| This would make a lovely setting for a tea party. The March Hare, the Mad Hatter, and the Dormouse would most gratefully accept an invitation. |
 |
| Yay! I found it!!! My new house!!! |
 |
| And my new housemate!!!
Tomorrow: Check back for a display of the great variety of flowers that I saw on the Garden Walk.

LOVE the pictures and ideas! I took an old rusty patio table, painted it and turned it into a bird feeding station for next to our garden. I need to add some planter boots next to it for the hummingbirds!
Those are so cute!! Great pictures, too. And a neat idea for a post. I have never had a garden, but if I did, I would want something cute or whimsical to decorate it, too.
There are a lot of great ideas and chuckles in those photos. I imagine the boot planters already have drainage holes. A table and chairs are an important part of gardening. I think a cold glass of sangria would be refreshing.
The pictures show so much imagination and your captions work well. I wish I had more room for a garden and it was so beastly hot in AZ, to make gardening a spring time endeavor.
I love seeing new and unique Garden decorations and here where I live there is a Dragon in the front yard among the flowers my son just loves. For the pictures you shared I like the Bike although all of the pictures are cute. If my daughter was here she would have picked out the Flip Flops.
How creative. Recently I took my almost 102 year old resident out for a stroll in her wheelchair to look at the gardens around her assisted living facility. Turned out that walk was her last. Wished I had these pictures to draw from for reference while I talked with her. Beautiful.
