A Rusty Corner

In the Woodland Garden, 

nestled between the evergreens, 

is a garden corner of rusty things. 

Things that were found while digging 

and cleaning the property. 

Things that were once useful,

in bygone years.

It's been a while in the making, 

this past Summer (2021),  and into the Fall,

we put together this corner of the garden.

It all started when I decided to make an orb

with the rusty bands from an old barrel. 

A stove plate used for the base.

Before garage pick up in this area,

things were disposed off on the land, 

in the woods, or the beach.

Over the years, I have cleaned up, 

disposed of a lot. 

We decided to display some

rusty finds on a slab-wall.

Old license plates have history 

stories to tell. Quebec 1976,

 Olympics in Montreal.

The year my son, Daniel was born.

It evolved into a rusty corner

Chains

Wheel things.

A spring vase

A galvanized bucket

Rusty things, lost in time.

Rescued and repurposed into "Garden Art"

Things that add focus and interest to the garden.

Somethings we found in the woods.

lost in time

I hope you've enjoyed this little 

tour of a rusty corner in the garden...

I'll be adding more as we

uncover more rusty junk. 

The shed in the back of the photo below,

belong to my neighbours.

My Dad built this shed many yrs. ago.

The first owners of this property,

 owned a CountryStore, in the 1960s-70s, 

and this building held their stock. 

My Dad had a sawmill and

 sawed logs into lumber

 for people and he was 

also was a carpenter.

The recent owners gave me

 the pathway in the garden.

They discarded an old sidewalk

 on their property and offered it

 to me, in large pieces.

 I will plant thyme

in the cracks and on the sides. 

From the Rusty Corner...

Goodnight!
