Sweet Memories Garden Episode #3 - Bogie's Brigadoon

(The pictures turned out a bit fuzzy, sorry about that.)

Bogie used to like the movie Brigadoon.  That is why he called his garden spot Brigadoon.
We made the toadstools out of old metal bowls that my sister was getting rid of.  
First we spray painted them red, then hand painted the white dots on with acrylic paint, 
and finished them off with a coat of sealer.  We then planted cedar posts in the 
ground and secured the bowls on top with a screw! 


The Tic-Tac-Toe table was a fun addition!  
We used Gnomes and frogs for the  playing pieces!  
There is also a pipe in the ground next to the table to hold a large umbrella for shade!
The toadstools on each side are for sitting on while playing!

This gnome used to belong to my mother.  
When my parents passed away, it came to me.  
Bogies garden includes a spot in a corner next to the house, 
so we put our new gnome here!
Brigadoon is a very low-maintenance garden.  with artificial tarp covering the ground,
 there is no watering and very little weeding!

Hope you enjoyed Bogie's Brigadoon Garden Spot!  Next week we'll visit Tatty's Bunny Hollow!  Hope to see you there :)
