Whimsy in purchased items - There are any number of whimsical items that can be purchased for the garden these days. Walking into any garden center will reveal an unending list.
Some purchased items might be:
- wire or rusted metal insects
- metal or stained glass garden picks
- plastic "flying" critters
- pink flamingos
- decorated step stones
- terracotta, concrete, or resin statuary
- fountains and birdbaths
- strings of white lights or party lights
- wind chimes
- metal or wooden silhouettes of garden fairies, animals, etc.
Everywhere you look, there are bits of whimsy that could be integrated into the garden. I encourage you to look at things with fun, creative eyes that see what a piece of "junk" can become and how it can add whimsy to the garden. Have a great time adding fun to your child's garden and to your own!
