30+ DIY Garden Ideas From French Country to English Cottage Garden

I wanted to get started on a couple of garden projects this week but as usual the spring weather has prevented me, but its nice to know the April showers will bring the May flowers and my garden is beginning to spring into life. I hope the video inspires you all to make plans for the upcoming season. I have lots of cool DIY and up cycled garden items coming up in the next couple of weeks along with a big project (I hope to get started)
I have also included a quick video I took of the eclipse, we were on the path and got an excellent view when the time came.
Thanks so much for watching enjoy the video and have a safe and happy week till next time

Oh Lynsey, what a heavenly video, thank you. Here is something I have tried and it looks wonderful. Thrift a vintage ice cream chair and remove the seat. Build a moss covered round planter and place it in the old space for the seat and fill it with wild flowers, a fairy garden, small ferns, actually the ideas are endless. Place the chair in your Garden in a focal spot, or hide it between trees, or place it on your stone patio. You can always find old rusty ice cream chairs at antique stores and flea markets. If you purchase a set. 2 chairs and one table or 4 chairs, you can create a focal point in your garden patio with all the chairs, filled with flowers and ivy. I created that actual outdoor vignette and when my property sold, the new owners fell in love with the chairs, which I excited, less things to move! Love the idea of standing vintage lamps making them into standing flower baskets. Off to the thrift store tomorrow morning! Have a great week! See you in The Wild 👍😎👍😎

Just subscribed. I live on 80 in WI, USA. Our area is so lg. I have to have lots of garden area. O collected tons of antique farm items that I used for lawn décor and for flower containers. I have different themes for ea. of my 9 gardens. My favorite showpiece is a old clawfoot bathtub I've painted to look like a cow. And my friend painted me a huge wooden cow head we attached in front. The Supertunia's splash over the sides and is gorgeous. I also have a girl cement statue and that is my girl garden, ladybugs, butterflies items, and cute wooden girls, and a old metal candle piece that I attached teacups to and have it hanging in that garden. It is fun and adds such curb appeal. So your channel will further inspire me thks!

Omg …..firstly welcome to the channel 👋 and secondly,wow! your garden sounds amazing especially the bathtub, I have lots of plans for the garden, I look forward to your comments 👍

This is SOOOO inspirational!!! It makes me want to get out there & start projects that I absolutely cannot finish, or if I do, that I'll never be able to maintain! But when I come down off the Gardener's Mania, I will, I am SURE, be able to incorporate some very reasonable & delightful ideas from this lush collection of gardening porn (well, someone had to say it!). And I cannot wait to see what you have in store for your garden, I know it will be wonderful!

[@lynseysrecycledbliss1111]

lol oh that’s brilliant 😆I ant wait to get outside and start this years garden adventure!

We’ve done a lot of English and French style decor in our Florida garden.Weve recently added brick pathways running through. A fancy garden center near us ,the grow plants for Dysneyworld,they did a glass topped table and chairs with moss ,also a child size hard plastic Wendy House.They covered the items with chicken wire attached in places then tucked succulents and mosses here and there ,it soon grows when kept damp.They look lovely .my favourite is the Wendy House.

Hi friend, wonderful, wonderful garden inspiration. In a couple more weeks, the night temperature will be above freezing I hope, so to start planting my garden. Thank you for the slide show, so many great ideas. Happy Spring.

[@lynseysrecycledbliss1111]

Spring is very short here in Ontario it’s dragging its heels this year, still quite cool during the day and at night 😞

Lynsey, I thought we were now on a strict Sunday schedule?! 😁 Those are aome beautiful gardens! 😍 I love the look of English country gardens. I will do some research on french gardens. Those were some great ideas. Ive never seen moss furniture. Love the look. I love stone furniture for outdoors, especially benches. I would love to see your chandelier 🐦 🏡 🏠 and hoola hoop lights! I also love the standing water and little tiny waterfall type setups. And also cute gnomes and 😇 and🐸 statuesI can't wait to see what you do with your canadian and french gardens! 🏡 🌺🌻🥀🌿😊

Thank you so much for the inspiration. I've been thinking about what to do in the garden. Thanks for the ideas.

You are so welcome!

Good morning, Lynsey! All the gardens you showed are gorgeous. Slowly working on beautifying mine. Have a great week!💓

[@lynseysrecycledbliss1111]

Thank you! You too! 💐

I have three garden areas. I've gotten one pretty much done. Two more to go. We are replacing all the mulch so I've been raking the old into piles.

[@lynseysrecycledbliss1111]

I must admit I can’t wait to get gardening, even though I don’t have a green thumb 💐👍

[@sandystafford5845]

Lindsey, thanks for sharing there were so many wonderful ideas. I loved them all❤

Wonderful ideas. So beautiful and charming. I love everything! I’m working on several projects right now. Probably too many at the time. I want to incorporate several of these ideas into my garden. I have a trampoline frame I’m going to use one section/half of the frame as an archway with lights wrapped around it. It will separate my woodland room and lead into my sunny meadow.. so much to do this time of year. I love the moss furniture. I’ve seen it before but I can imagine it being difficult and time consuming especially the upkeep. If it’s all alive it would take the perfect environment for the moss to live. I thought about the dried moss that I use in my woodland miniature gardens… but it would not be economically affordable for me. But I so love it. Wonderful video and so inspiring. Thank you. I subscribed 😊

[@lynseysrecycledbliss1111]

Oh wow your garden sounds wonderful, I love the idea with trampoline frame and the lights, fantastic. Glad to have you here 😊

[@sharenp3839]

Oh I love lawn art and have a lot. My kids on the other hand think I’m nuts in my older years lol

[@lynseysrecycledbliss1111]

lol I’m in that club! It’s nice to do things just because we want to. 👍😉

[@vintagelady1]

That's the gift of "our older years" (besides senior discounts!!), that we can do anything we like b/c after all, we're a elderly & bit , you know, off our rockers!

Beautiful gardens! I have a small pair of wrought iron gates, about 2.5 Ft. tall, give me ideas to use them, please.

[@lynseysrecycledbliss1111]

I love a nice gate in a flower patch 💐

[@diannesteele1343]

Very lovely. Would like to point out that lots of videos show mirrors in gardens, which birds can hurt themselves flying into.

[@lynseysrecycledbliss1111]

Yes, true I have used black silhouette birds on large windows in the past I would absolutely do that 👍thanks

[@LCLW63]

What a lovely video. Lots of ideas even if you only have a small tiny balcony (like me). FYI there is a channel on yt called the "The Crafty DIYer" and the title of the video is DIY Moss chair. I'm not sure it's what your looking for but it was really cool & she used real moss. I'd post the link to her channel but yt ALWAYS deletes my comment if I post a link???? Looking forward to seeing your next video. Have been binging a bit on your channel as you are new to me & am enjoying your content.

[@lynseysrecycledbliss1111]

Thanks for the tip! I will definitely check out the channel. Thanks for the great comments
