Eclectic Garden Tour – Our Fairfield Home and Garden
This eclectic garden tour is filled with whimsical ideas for every gardener. See how to creatively repurpose and upcycle every day objects and turn them into art for your garden.
It’s summer and that means hanging out outside so let’s make this summer the summer of gorgeous garden tours!
Who better to start with than Barb of Our Fairfield Home and Garden who I officially dub the Garden Fairy Godmother.
Barb’s neighbor was tossing 32 shutters so she challenged herself to use all of the shutters in the garden and she nailed it starting with a shutter fence, a raised garden bed and more!
She’s got a Kelly green thumb in her garden that’s filled with surprises around every corner …
like a wheelbarrow planter.
Magical things happen in a garden filled with fairies and toadstools.
Love this bicycle built for beauty.
The perfect potting bench – a vintage sink.
Love the little rooms and pathways throughout the garden.
Birdbaths are for succulents …
and rocks and garbage can lids are for birdbaths!
Feathered friends can find lots of places to rest.
Extra pots turn into a tree.
Just missing the s’mores.
Who need a huge lawn to mow when you can have this? Barb transformed her front lawn into a showstopper in just a few short years.
Visit Barb of Our Fairfield Home and Garden in her garden – I am sure she has a glass of lemonade waiting for you plus tips on what, when and how to plant just about everything.

love the little fairy garden area! what a fun space!
I was so delighted to have you share our garden with your readers, Kelly! Stop by anytime and see what’s new. This time of year, I’m always out in the garden piddling around!
My Best,
Barb
So beautiful! I , too, love the little fairy door. All of her areas are stunning. It’s so cool she repurposes things other people are throwing away. I’m off to go visit. And thank you for featuring all of these great places!
Beautiful! I hope you feature other garden tours! I just love them.
So wonderful and beautiful this garden is, lots of work to get it that way but so worth it. She has a knack for sure. Is her home in Midwest or East? It’s hard to get things to grow like that in South west. Maybe it’s just our ground but all that wonderful ground cover and flowers would have hard time getting even started where we live, Western CO.
Really enjoyed this wonderful tour as I do all of your tours. Hope you’re enjoying your July 4th. weekend
An absolutely beautiful home and garden. I need to grow a green thumb like you. My love for gardens has always been a project many times overcome by weeds. I need to work harder. Do you use a lot of weedblock in your gardens? Lovele and thank you for sharing.
Wow…what a most fabulous garden!…I love her vintage sink/potting bench…my sister has one of these and I just love them….love all of her vintage a.k.a “Kelly touches” throughout her gardens…especially that wheelbarrow filled with the most wonderful plants….great tour today Kelly!…so loved it!
So much character in this garden! Charming! LOVE that bicycle! Thanks so much for sharing! Life to the full! Melissa
This garden tour was just too exciting. One clever thing after another. So many ideas to incorporate into one’s own garden. Thanx!!!
I love all your bird houses. I so want to make some funky birdhouses.
