Junk Garden in Manzanita Oregon

Remember Cart'M on the Oregon Coast? I decided that their demonstration garden deserved it's own post. The staff cultivates this delapidated delight next to the dump/recycling center/thrift store. The garden is created using throw-aways; PVC pipe, a bathtub, rusted old modes of transportation and even a gigantic satellite dish. Have a little meander.....




And remember...please stay on the path!

Pam, what fun thanks so much for visiting my blog, I love your Post about the evil dealers out your way. I guess they are everywhere, we have our share. I tell you they are just the kind of person I never want to become. I love Magpie Ethel she has such darling treasures, and cute creations. i have bookmarked your blog and Etsy Shop. I have a sister in Sherwood Oregon. What a small world.
Hugs, Diane

Hi Pam,
I had to come over and visit you.
It seems like so many of us share the same ideas and how fun it that:)

Happy junking and thriftin..

P.S. we find most of our treasures at estate sales and they happen almost every weekend...even in the winter!!

What a fun idea. We even have an old rusty wagon we could plant stuff in. I cracked up at your warning post on the meanies from the estate sale circuit. That is just crazy!! I can't say what I would have done if I would have seen one of them push a little old lady.

Seems that folks at the coast are rather inventive with their landscape gardens.

I like the old wagon photo the best.
