During the winter months when the garden becomes dormant I notice and enjoy our garden art even more. With no flowers and very few leaves to compete with the garden art objects take on a new role, they are center stage. The above picture is of a collection of salvaged wind turbines, used on roof tops to help with venting. The turbine spins when exposed to wind, making it a wonderful item to display in the garden.
We mount them on stands of different heights and designs which creates more interest as they are placed throughout the garden. I especially like the older ones with rust and some that have acquired a soft green patina. On a breezy day I can look around the garden and witness the beautiful spinning of these turbines... helps me get through the winter months until the flowers and leaves take center stage again. Happy Gardening All! it will be Spring before we know it :)
For information on purchasing our garden art you can contact us through our business page on Face Book under the name Old Soul Studios
By request I have put down my trowel and washed the dirt from my hands so I can share a little of my creative world with you. The Creative Gardener was created out of the desire to combine all of my passions. Gardening, teaching, designing, writing, decorating and treasure hunting. This all takes place at my little red house with the white pickett fence surrounded by my garden that grows wild and happy!
