Sweet Memories Garden - Episode #5 - Busters Corner

Buster designed his flower bed when he was about 4 years old.  The Old Fashioned Purple Lilac provides the shade.  Notice there are no glowers to care for.  If you look closely to the far right, you can see a metal stake with a metal flower...this was the only flower he wanted!

  

He has several statues... children on a slide, a little boy fishing, and a little boy sitting next to a bird bath.

His little bench and tic-tac-tac toe game are the focal point.

Busters corner is located between Tatty's Bunny Hollow and Bogies Brigadoon. 

 Making all 3 gardens a delightful place for children to play and use their imaginations!

You can see the other children's gardens in the 

Sweet Memories, A Children's Garden tab at the top of my blog!

Next weeks garden post will be on Thursday instead of Friday...come by

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 :)
