A FEW IDEAS AND PICTURES FOR THE GARDEN ART BOOTH

Consider the following ideas:

• Mobiles- made with twine, fish line, driftwood, shells, glass, pottery, etc.
• Birdhouses- decorative or functional. Hanging or sitting. Big or small
• Plant ID sticks- pre decorated and with labels or decorative and blank
• Decorative stakes for planters and pots- many sizes (6”-3’), make with wood, pottery, metal, glass.
• Decorated pots-mosaic or painted.
• Mosaic step stones, pots, signs, art
• Wood or metal art and signs to hang
• Bird baths
• Bird feeders
• Painted rocks for garden
• Creative and well planted cups, pots, buckets, chairs, pails, drift wood, etc!
• Large stake art or totems for garden-wood, metal or pottery
• Fountains (small)
• Gift cards with envelopes with art or photos of garden theme things
• Sun-catchers
• Smaller found metal chairs, tables, items to sit plants on outside
• Wearable garden art like decorated hats, aprons, bags, gloves
• Driftwood art and planters.
• Any garden wall hanging art
• Twig or painted wood or metal trellis structures
• Plant or light hurricanes

It will take many pieces of garden art to make this booth a success. Not everyone wants to create garden art but I am hopeful that you all can contribute something in one way or another.  You can:

• Volunteer to help in the booth(Saturday, 5/3 or Sunday, 5/4)
• Donate supplies to make into garden art
• Make garden art for the sale

You may have supplies that could be donated for garden art.  Let me know if you have something we could use.  I have included a list of items that can be made into garden art below:

• driftwood
• shells
• old rakes or shovels, and garden tools
• paintable pots
• fun containers that could be used to pant things in (cups, pots, pails, etc)
• clear glass hurricanes
• wood pieces for bird houses
• boards/lumber to make bird houses and garden totems with
• mason jars
• fish line or rustic twine
• moss
• bendable metal (like small copper pipe)
• wood or sticks to make tee-pee trellis structures
• plants (like succulents) for planting in artsy containers

Call, text or e-mail me if you have questions. I can help with ideas or supplies.

 
For example: 

• If you like woodwork and can make bird houses, I can find a person to embellish the house after you build it. 
• If you have several paintable pots, I can find someone to paint them.
• If you have fun pots to plant in but need plants, I will help you get plants.
• If you want to make a craft but need more direction, call me and we will brainstorm together.

PLEASE E-MAIL ME WITH DETAILS OR PICTURES ON WHAT YOU PLAN TO CONTRIBUTE.  THIS WILL HELP ME TO PLAN OUT THE BOOTH AND UNDERSTAND WHAT WE WILL HAVE TO SELL.  THANK YOU!
