Wednesday Vignette
The Northwest Perennial Alliance supplies 8.5" x 11" tasteful but visible open and closed signs for host gardeners to post outside their gardens. I was a bit worried that such a sign might get a bit lost in the foliage outside my garden so I came up with something a little more eye catching to lean against the fire hydrant on our corner. Once again the basement hoard contained a solution. I don't think anyone had trouble locating the sign.
He's now leaning against the house guarding the hose spigot and scares me every time I come around the corner.

Yes, Peter, he served you well as a greeter. Too bad he lost his head over the honor, but at least he didn't have to get tired face muscles from smiling all day.
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice touch, reflecting your creative thinking.
ReplyDeleteIf there is ever a "NW Basement-Hoard Alliance" open basement tour, I'll be first in line.
Nothing says "welcome to my garden" like a headless mannequin in tie dye.
ReplyDeleteI loved that mannequin! He set exactly the right tone for anyone who didn't know what they were getting into.
ReplyDeleteThat would have me slamming the brakes and joining the tour even if I hadn't planned on it!
ReplyDeleteWhat both Kris and Chavliness said - I'm sorry I live so far away. I have no doubt that all your visitors were completely bedazzled!
ReplyDeleteHa! Now that would scare me, too! I wonder if something similar would scare away the rabbits?! Gosh, I would have loved to have seen your garden. :)
ReplyDeleteHe sure is a tidy fellow. Must have been fun for your visitors.
ReplyDeleteLoved your garden so much more than those rigidly manicured ones where the plants aren't allowed to touch!
ReplyDeleteHere's the Canby plant sale we mentioned: http://www.clackamascountymastergardeners.org/SpringGardenFair.htm
Glad you had fun. I admire rigidly manicured gardens but could never pull it off myself. Thanks for the link!
DeleteWhat a handsome dude. Just my type. I bet no one missed your garden.
ReplyDeleteWe have a neon yellow flag on a stand out by the end of the driveway to show bus drivers where to stop. Now I feel so silly; a headless mannequin would be just the thing to entice people to tour the garden! Sadly, surveying my hoard of things, I could only find a head, but no torso. I think we need to get together, don't you?
ReplyDeleteOh heavens yes! Just think of all the things we could piece together with our combined hoards!
DeleteNo "off the rack" solutions for our Peter.
