Themed Gardens - Florida Gators

So, I frequent Gardenweb.com's "Florida" forum. I came across a recent thread about themed gardens. It made me want to blog about my small themed garden pieces. It also gave me a ton of ideas, one of which includes a yellow brink garden path. I can't wait!

Here are some photos of our Florida Gator pieces. I spray painted a cheap pot blue, then antiqued it wil acyrlic craft paint. I had a hard time finding blue flowers. I ended up with a plumbago (which you can't see here b/c it dropped it's flowers). I also purchased blue boy bachelor's button seeds.

Here's the mailbox which has two beautiful orange hibiscus right now. They were only $5 at Lowes a few weeks ago.

  1. Your mailbox is cool...and those hibiscus are gorgeous. Orange is one of my favorite colors in the garden, especially paired with blue. :)

  2. I volunteer at a school garden that has themes for their raised beds that I thought your readers might find fun. The name of the school garden is Woodward Gardens and it is located in Tigard, Oregon. http://www.betterlivingshow.org/WoodwardGardensraisedbeds.asp
