I am getting excited planning for my garden. Recently found a wall mounted fountain like yours for $10 thrifting! Will use it as wall decor, love it! Great video!
Щиро дякую за відео! Дивлюся на твій сад і надихаюся ним! Яка краса! А тобі – браво за працю і любов до рослин! Бажаю тобі щедрого сезону в саду!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤
Awesome! Taking pictures on my phone. Love the creativity some folks have. So fun! Blessings 🙏
Interesting. I live on 80 acres in a 1919 Farmhouse in WI. I have a massive area, but, I have 11 different gardens, all w /a different theme. I have a lot of antique farm items which we put away in winter and I use to plant flowers in. Besides my perennials in the ground I have 86 above ground containers for flowers. I have 4 trellises, a water fountain, a lot of cement figures. We have a brick patio and just this past yr. have it covered. I have a toy wooden barn that I set up as a farm scene, so cute. I also have a 8 pc set of Snow White figurines that I set up as another fairy-scene. Everyone notices these as it's different.
Thank you for a great video! I can't wait to get out in the garden and try some of these ideas!
Hi! Great ideas, I am so excited to get outside and put some of your ideas in my yard!!🌸
Wall fountain is a good place for some trailing flowering plants.
