Garden season is in full swing for me! I have been neglecting My Recycling Gardener blog lately. Its been about a month since I have posted anything. I have been busy posting garden updates and food pictures on my other blog. I thought what better way then to come back with an Eco Monday project.
Using left over wood, Old Wire and a little bit of paint, my Grandma has made some adorable garden signs for me to place throughout my garden.
She used some wood with some white wash paint and gave the wood a distressed look. Which I love!
This welcome sign is at the enterance of my garden. I hung it on a shepheards hook. Placed between my Tomato's and Corn. I took this picture at night because I was so excitied I had to hang at least one.
I love the way they look. Almost Antique.
Its such an easy project. All you need is some wood, wire, paint and a little imagination.
Do you make homemade signs for your garden?
If so, what do you make yours from?
Happy Recycling!!!

Recycling prevents habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, and soil erosion associated with logging and mining.

ReplyDeleteI love the old drawers. Perfect for growing herbs and lettuce. Thanks.
ReplyDeletegardening and recycling are both concepts that we must encourage so that there is less pollution on earth.The trees are being cut and the earth is full of air and land and water pollutants.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I've been looking for a sign idea for a garden I'm working on. How did you get the antique look with the paint? Did you have to water it down with water?
ReplyDeleteGreat signs. I love the distressed look. I did this with an old window frame that I turned into a picture frame.

It turned out to be very positive.
ReplyDeleteYour recycled signs look very retro! Cool!
ReplyDeleteHey there what lovely signs. Yes I also make my own recycled signs. I use the plastic of empty 2l ice cream containers. I paint them diffrent colours and write whatever cute sayings I like using 'transfer letters'. They look so awsome in the garden and give the environment a homey feel. I hope everyone gets a chance to try out this awsome idea.!
