Creating Country Gardens With Rustic Charm

The third and final post from Teri's barn sale include photos depicting rustic garden elements that add that little bit of vintage charm to a country landscape. Teri uses hosta, day lilies,cone flowers,and other low maintenance perennials around the barn and out buildings to create a variety of interesting foliage and pops of color throughout the summer season. The plants mixed with rustic benches, a bike, iron chairs, bird houses, clay pots and galvanized containers complete the informal gardens. Lets take a look at how all the different textures comes together to make a lovely garden setting.


















If you haven't already, please take a look at my other two posts about this barn sale

 Barn Sale -Distressed Furniture & Vintage Goodies Up Close.

One more hearty thank-you to Teri for allowing me to photograph her awesome property and barn sale.

Thanks for visiting!

    I love it when old things are mixed in a garden setting. Those lawn chairs really caught my eye. I call them "motel chairs" because those type of chairs were often found at vintage motels.

    Love all your old is new stuff!! It's a great way to spruce up the yard! I have lots of old things but I think there must be a gift to placing it in such a way that it looks fantastic.Mine.....not so much!

    Hi Cathy, Thanks for stopping by, your sweet comments, and trying to become a follower. Not sure what the problem is. Sometimes going out of the program and starting new helps. Don't know if that makes sense.
