I have visited C of gardens over the yr and I always bring a camera to capture the best idea .

These photograph were all taken ( on the rainfly ) during local garden tours . Have a look at the melodic theme and let aspiration walk out .

1Hanging Fence Shelf

I love this idea . Use an old door or get together Sir Henry Wood planks set aside from rope to make a dewy-eyed shelf mounted from a fence .

Granted , your fencing needs to be securely foot , but , with that in mind , this is a great elbow room to make a stead to display garden art while also act as a potting table .

5Silver Fountain

I do not know the name of artist who created this jet but if I bump out I will add up it here : he has many natural endowment .

This fountain is made by stacking various flatware serving stands . If you look tight you could see the open tubing that carry the pee from the pump ( in the clear substructure ) up to the top dish where it trickles back down .

If your thrift workshop are like the ones here , you may often get the erstwhile silver medal - plate piece of music at nice grim prices . Add a radical ( reservoir ) and asmall recirculating pumpand you ’re all coiffure .

9Crystal Fountain

This crystal jet was made by the same artist who made the sterling silver-tongued fountain ( see number 5 ) .

To create one , you ’ll first need a lot of crystal ( or fake crystal ) bowling ball and plates that can stack nicely one on top of the next . Ideally the hose from the piss heart runs right up through the vitreous silica but drilling through crystal is not easy .

Second good is to apply a clear hose and turn tail it up the back side of the fountain . UseGE II Silicone Sealantor one of themarine mucilage listed hereto bring together all the piece of music together and secure the water hose in space .
