Whimsical Garden Vignettes

 Each spring I look forward to visiting the garden center for new flowers and plants. This year I decided to get creative and opted instead to shop for a variety of fun and whimsical ‘garden art’ along with some faux plants. I grew tired of the wildlife around here making a smorgasbord of my plantings especially when they have the whole forest to forage on! I’ve scattered these among the plants that amazingly made a resurgence. At the end of last summer, the liriopes appeared to have been shirred off completely. I know it was the deer because I caught them in the act! Although, I’ve read bears like to chomp on grasses too. Among foxes and deer our wildlife cam also captured bears on our property.  Maybe they did us a favor by cutting them back 😉 and that's why they're growing back strong. Anyway, such is life in the forest!
