Becky has invited us to have fun with sevens during the month of September. Having spent some time counting petals (flowers tend not to have seven petals) and counting flowers (not recommended as a pastime), I’m going with seven yard art ideas with varying degrees of difficulty, should you want to try them.

I’m calling them yard art rather than garden art because these were all taken in America.





One picture was taken in my sweetheart’s garden. Can guess which? For more square fun, check out Seven Squares for September.

I would need a hint to guess. All but the second look pretty homey.
Well spotted. The Singing Flowers were at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. It’s handy to have a team of gardeners to manage mosaiculture. My hint would have been that he thinks it is funny (it’s the drought-tolerant cacti in the middle of the hydrants).
I would not have gotten that. In California, we put those Agave anywhere.
Whimsical and fun art!
Thanks, Eliza. I had fun choosing them.
The bear?
The bear would be fun too, but it’s the hydrants/succulents one.
oh aren’t these wonderful – such fun.
It was such a treat to find the tin man garden. Quite eye-opening, even for me.
I love the singing succulents! 🙂
Mosaiculture always intrigues me, but it must be a challenge to keep them looking good.
Cool yard art
I’m happy you liked it
I’m always a fan of weird yard art!
Glad to have made you smile!
The cacti and hydrants are my favorite: clever and visually appealing. I like the tin man, too. Both seem to fit their environment more naturally.
The cacti/hydrants are the ones in my sweetheart’s yard. He calls that bit Oklahoma Corner, although I’m never really sure why, it being in Mississippi.
Wow … the singing succulents are tremendous 🙂 !
They are, I agree. They were in the Atlanta Botanical Garden this summer as part of the Alice’s Wonderland exhibition. There was a Chess Set Army too.
Love these!
