Backdrops for a Country Cottage Junk Garden
July 29, 2013
I don't live in the country. I live in a residential cul-de-sac in a smallish town. No country fences, no old barns, no barn wood, no meadow, no great garden backdrops, period! So to create the country, cottage, rustic, junk garden look I strive to achieve, I have to pull in some props. Some of my props are well known: the stepladder in the front border, the potting sink, and the chippy white painted wheelbarrow. These fun pieces appear over and over in my posts, but what about the workhorses, the backdrops to my vignettes?
