If you don't know where you are going, you can't get lost!

Desert Garden Art

People who live in desert areas may have a problem growing decorative plants but they still enjoy decorating their garden areas. They just need to find innovative ways to decorate with items that will survive the Summer's unrelenting heat.


Take a few unused shovels, rakes and clippers, and you have some clever examples of "Yard Birds".




From delicate painted ones ....
..........to tall startling "vultures".

Look at this handsome, three foot tall rooster. He is made of steel pieces cut from an old 55 gallon barrel.


A large hungry praying mantis might be helpful in the garden, ..... but I don't think that I would care to meet this ant in my kitchen.....
.....or this nasty looking scorpion in my yard.

Until later.......
