I agree. If anything, I'd say it's an amazingly creative use of tires! If you think about, there are so many things laying around your house right now that could be used as gardens. It just takes a little bit of creativity and ingenuity.
It was labeled Redneck where I found it. But in the South you are definitely a redneck if you have a tire garden in your FRONT yard, pink flamingoes anywhere in the yard and a car up on blocks in the yard or even in the driveway. Also an upholstered couch or chair on the front porch is considered redneck...by whomever the considered the Namer of All Things Redneck!
Personally I live in a very "upscale" suburban neighborhood with HOA, etc. But I have all sorts of found gardening things in my back yard including 2 old bathtubs, iron bedframes for support, large plastic buckets with holes for patio gardening and icky plastic patio tables up on buckets for the right height potting tables ( I'm tall). Whatever works for me I use with no apologies.
NK, I really like that photo in the OP -- I live in an upper-middle-class neighborhood and I would have no objections to that, nor would my neighbors I think. It's colorful and pretty.
I am SO DESPERATE to start gardening!! The tiller I ordered from amazon is due in tonight -- I know I can't use it yet but hopefully I'll be able to before the 30-day return period is up!!!!!!!!! (The price went down so I ordered!!) It was NEGATIVE 6 when I got up around 4:30 this morning -- I really need spring!!
Old cream separators, Red Wing crocks and sprinkling cans are popular. Various colored glass bottles, old wooden chairs and rusty tractor seats are sometimes used as accents.
I love it. It's really beautiful! The trick would be
keeping the paint colors looking as nice as that every
year.
I love garden art. That is definately art.
I have a pink flamingo by my pond, I bought it as a joke
and now I sort of like it. Tacky, yea, but I live out in the country,
so it's all mine to enjoy.
No one to tell me they don't like my bird.
