These old sneakers went into my garden more than 10 years ago (no exaggerating). About a month after buying them I realized, cute as they were, they were the most uncomfortable things I'd ever put on my feet. So into the garden they went, occasionally covered by ambitious spreading plants and, from time to time, uncovered again.
These sneakers helped me to find a name for my garden blog. Friends have commented "but they're not green" or asked "are you always going to wear green sneakers?" To me these sneakers are green and symbolize what my garden, hopefully, is becoming. Anything I can reuse in the garden will not end up in the landfill...Go Green!..and besides, it's fun.
Please visit my profile for more about my gardening goals here at Green Sneakers Garden. But before you do, leave a comment and enjoy one more picture, which is a preview of my topic for next week's post: Texture in My Garden.
What a great photo to lead with! I think that rabbit wants your shoes... Looking forward to the next post!
ReplyDeleteThanks! That photo was taken in 2006. In the Spring I'll take a new one. The sneakers are still there but different plants have moved in. And only well-behaved rabbits allowed here :>)
DeleteThe photos are so full of color! It's beautiful! Making me "itching" to get outside to play in the dirt. :>)
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb. Spring is In The Air!
DeleteHi Carol, your garden is lovely and hardly small! You've got a wonderful eye for what works together. Thanks for your input to planning my friend's wedding flower arrangements. I'm trusting that the universe will produce stunning, healthy flowers in August from seeds planted under grow lights in April. Good luck with year 1 at GSG!!
