Eclectic Garden Tour – Organized Clutter

Carlene of Organized Clutter is the queen bee of junk gardens.

She’s never met a rusty old whatcha-ma-call-it, discarded thing-a-ma-jig or broken down what’s it that she couldn’t breathe new life into.

 

Follow these footsteps into the garden.

An old sink becomes the perfect potting bench.

We’ve all seen bike planters but Carlene took hers to another level – check out what’s on the pedals!

Rusty things are her specialty.

Get creative when displaying your collections.

Whimsical touches everywhere you turn like this bed turned planter.

Love this cool little terra cotta pot border in bloom.

This is just my type of planter!

Every garden needs a colorful toadstool or two … or three.

Wow – even the garden marker matches the yellow flowers!

Carlene not only knows her way around a pile of junk, she’s also an amazing gardener.

See how she turned this patch of earth into …

this bountiful garden.  Learn Colleen’s secrets to creating a cottage garden.

Don’t forget to follow Carlene’s cardinal rule of junk gardening:  “your yard and garden should be well maintained, manicured, mowed, clipped, etc.  If your yard looks overgrown and junky before you start you will not end up with a pleasing junk garden vignette, you will end up with a JUNKYARD vignette.  Big difference.”

Get over to Carlene’s at Organized Clutter then get into your garden and start planting.
