Warm weather and I am getting a bit creative in my GEORGIA GARDEN. I redid a planter in the Semi-Formal Garden last fall after a visit from the Gardeners Confidence Folks. St Francis once called that garden home being nestled into a round planter. Click HERE to see that old and new planter.
I had lots of bamboo sticks collected from my woods Scare-a-Crows and Bunny Displays. I found a use for the sticks other then the trash. It is now hiding a Telephone Pole and acting as a backdrop for St Francis, a Zen Frog and a couple Pink Explosion Azalea's. The azalea to the left was heavy pruned during the photo op in my garden. I hope it will pop back to life in time. I shall add a few new plants and items in time. This is how gardens are started in my yard! Ha..... I am letting my creativity flow with this NEW SPOT FOR ST FRANCIS, In the Garden...

The bamboo is a nice backdrop for The Saint. The bamboo stops the eye. I didn't even notice the pole behind until I read about it. I hope that was what you were going for. :) I bet you can't wait to see all those azaleas blooming this spring. What a great gift.
ReplyDeleteSuper good reuse for the bamboo. St. Francis looks happy. I don't think your azalea that was pruned will bloom. If you prune an azalea you need to do it right after bloom or you cut off the buds for the next year bloom. But! It should come back nicely. It's nice to see the ground. We have LOTS of snow this morning but it is ever so pretty. I am glad I can stay home.
ReplyDeleteFrancis and the frog. I like it.
ReplyDeleteA great way to repurpose those bamboo poles! Like Lisa, I didn't even notice the telephone pole until you mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteDue to 5 years outdoors my Walmart St. Francis no looks like the Buddha. I think its time to upscale to something other than plaster...:)
ReplyDeleteI love little nooks and secluded spots in the garden. How pretty when the plants are full and in bloom.
