Use Unique Items As Garden Furniture

• Use sinks and bathtubs as planters.large bathtub image by Nikolay Okhitin from Fotolia.com
  
  What do an old clawfoot bathtub, a birdcage and a headboard have in common? All can be part of your garden as garden furniture. Use bathtubs, old sinks and other containers as raised garden beds or planters. Birdcages can become a place for hanging plants. Headboards make an excellent fence. Create a garden theme with materials like rattan or cast iron and look for yard sale items in these materials.
  
  

Use Odd Planters and Pots

• Use animals and colors that you love as inspiration in the garden.cow. cow in farm/field image by L. Shat from Fotolia.com
  
  Use planters and pots to make a statement in the garden. If you love wicker, get a selection of wicker planters and pots and place them in different formations on a sheltered deck. If you adore strong colors, get pots and paint them all colors of the rainbow. Enjoy a certain animal? Get planters that look like flocks of ducks or herds of cows. Use the garden as your palette and the pots and planters as your tools.
  
  

Add Quirky Garden Ornaments

  While many people have whole armies of garden gnomes, you don't need to stick with gnomes if you want to decorate the garden. If you love hummingbirds, find hummingbird decor. Add whirligigs, rain chains, and other objects that are musically and/or visually stimulating. It is possible to overdo it with the cute ornaments, so hide them a little in the garden so that the casual onlooker might overlook them but the visitor to the garden will take notice.
  
  

Cultivate Strange Plants and Theme Gardens

  Of course, the main feature of your garden is the plants themselves. Cultivate fun plants like carnivorous plants, plants with a fragrant scent, or flowers that are huge and showy. Plants for a fragrant garden include honeysuckle and viburnum.
  
  Create theme areas like a fairy garden, complete with miniature plants named after fairies. Add a moss garden or an Asian-inspired garden. Let your plants reflect your quirky gardening passions.
