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. It keeps the garden looking interesting (and alive!) and makes winter a little less daunting.
Here you’ll find 12 simple winter garden art ideas from creative blogging friends. I hope you’ll find some ideas for your garden.
