Winter is just far too long to let it go undecorated. In addition to growing veggies indoors and outdoors during the cold weather months [How to Grow Vegetables in the Winter], I keep just about all of my garden art outside as well.

Here you’ll find 12 simple winter garden art ideas from creative blogging friends. I hope you’ll find some ideas for your garden.
