- I don’t know if Stewart and I kept our counting on track, but this was a really fun video to shoot! Here are 10 junk store finds and how I am using them in the garden. You requested and I responded. Hope you enjoy this video and some of the clever ways we can reuse, recycle and re-purpose in our gardens! Make sure to comment below and let me know how you would use the same things in your gardens :-)!

Another NUT like me, always thinking creatively ! Once a teacher, always a teacher ! Love it, I feel I am not alone ! Keep creating, keep the dump clean !!!!!
I bought the small wire garbage cans from the Dollar Tree and put over my plants that the rabbits and squirrels were trying to eat. Worked great and cheap! I love all your videos!
Excellent idea!
Love it!!!
What a great idea!
Linda, you spur my kind of "winter dead imagination". Stewart may be teasing, but you are so creative and artistic!
Thrift store shopping is the bomb🌻
Our thrift shops are popular but expensive. Prices are often similar to retail stores unfortunately. But I still love to thrift shop.
ABSOLUTELY love this type of video. I, too, enjoy repurposing found treasures! So much fun,and, they are one of a kind!
me too
My first time to see your program. Love. It. ,,,
YES Please!
Recycle ♻️
Reuse 💡
Repurpose! 🔁
What is a (wrong spelling) potashay? I’ve never heard that word. Pardon my ignorance!
No no no stone on the candelabra. A patina of some sort to enhance the details. Why cover it in stone?
I just picked up a woven chair and a small bench on trash day!! Gotta recycle and up cycle!!
I love that you encourage us to shop around for creative garden items. You give us great cost savings ideas and resources. Gardening can get very expensive as you know so inexpensive solutions is a great gift to all of us. I watch other garden influencers and they have good ideas but most of them are pushing products and seem to have deep pockets when putting together garden projects. Thanks Linda for making us feel like no matter what your budget you can produce a productive and beautiful garden.
You are so right. Gardening can be so expensive. Even if you have the money though, I think it is so worthwhile to try to reuse things that already exist. Plus I do love the patina of all things. As long as we are careful not to make it look junky and to use things in a intentional stylish way, I think it’s a brilliant solution
I've been getting items for the garden from thrift stores for years! I love seeing how you use some of the things that I pass up. Now I will look at them with a new light. Thanks
Awesome, Linda. That gravel scoop made me jealous!!!! THAT was a fabulous find !!!!!
And those britches are cool too. Loved everything
Love your creativity and enthusiasm! Your family can tease you mercilessly all they want but you know they actually respect and admire your brilliant ideas and thriftiness! You've inspired me! Thank you!
What wonderful thrifted items repurposed for the garden. You have given me so much inspiration. Thank you for this video. I really enjoy watching your junk store finds.
You inspired me. I love to shop at thrift stores but I will definitely be looking for stuff I can use in the garden now. And Thanks for the ideas for discouraging the squirrels. I'm about to scream with frustration!
Carol Brooks: Try splashing hot sauce around your plants. It works for me!
Oh Lindavi Love, Love, Love Shopping Thrift store and garage sales. Thank you for all your tips. So until next time God Bless you and Stewart and have a Blessed day and Stay Safe my dear Friends.
I have a wire basket exactly like your number two item. Mine was from my previous refrigerator. I too use it in the garden.so glad I saved it. Very useful.
Love how your creative mind works. Keep these coming!
TH-camrs seem to find neat stuff at thrift stores. Maybe I don't have the gift for spotting such great items, but it's nice to see what others score. Glad you're out in the garden again.
Me too. I’m not necessarily creative, but I can copy!😉
Just keep trying. I go to Goodwill and Salvation Army often. Sometimes I don't find anything and others I really score.
One of the most upscale & content packed trash to treasure videos ever!
Thank you!
You are a sweetheart. They are teasing you bc they care about you. Love ur channel. Blessings
So many things can be be done with a little creativity! I love repurposing things I find along the road!
I think I’ve decided that you’re my spirit animal 😂 awesome videos, fab inspiration and it’s so refreshing to know I’m not the only one that refuses to spend more than I have to to garden here in the UK! Thank you for sharing 🙌🏼 x
I feel so honored!
Linda Vater what a creative detective......you know how to think ahead, and create in your mind something that other haven't got that gift. Love your determination. And you know how to recycle everything. Again rare gift.
I am obsessed with the chalice planter. I have to head to Goodwill now and hope for the best!
I love your show!!!! It's 2:36 a.m. and I just can't seem to stop viewing all the goodies you share with us. Thanks for providing great ideas for those of us who LOVE to shop in thrift stores.
Sleep in this morning!!
Awesome! My greatest "transformation" was an vintage pedestal for a sink; from a salvage store. With an vintage light shade on top.....walah.....a bird bath. I spray painted the pedestal a bronze so it blended but still held its own. Total cost: $25 for a one of a kind.
How cool!
Hi Linda, Debra from Memphis here, girl you are a woman after my own heart. Not everyone has a eye for these great thrift stores recreation,I am new to your channel, but belive you me I will be looking forward to your great ideas in the future be blessed.
Welcome!
I never had problems with the squirrels, until last summer. I did the hot pepper seeds on the tops of my veggies plants. It worked for a while, you just have to do it often. This spring I will be using rubber snakes, I was told that squirrels don"t like them. I will keep you posted.
Hello, i was wondering if you had any luck with those rubber snakes?
Linda,
I just came from the thrift store... ( found a lot of nice things...:) )
Came home and your video popped up.
Perfect ....
LOVE IT! Especially that rusty metal tray 🪴🪴🪴
I am so happy to have stumbled upon this video. Thank you so much to inspire me to update some old stuff into new.
You are creative that’s why gardening is a art!
Thanks Linda, great tips. Love finding cool things at antique and thrift stores for all kind of fun uses!
I love all your ideas for thrifted finds in the garden.
I was just watching this video again as I clear out "links" I've saved - and I'm not deleting it! I have quite a few thrift store candle holders in my back yard I use for solar lights. And another view of this video gave me the idea of using a candle holder/metal planter basket as a lantern!
I just rescued a bowl out of the goodwill box. I’m going to repurpose instead of giving away. Thanks Linda. I agree with Stewart, you are so creative 🧤
Love your ideas. Love going to the thrifty stores.
Last time I went to Restore another customer was standing in line with s beautiful outdoor urn. It's all in being at right place right time for those great finds at thrift, charity and consignment shops!
So true!
Yes! Loving the gardening tips and the Sarah Conner vibe for the garden😀🌿
Love the repurpose of items!
Love Love Love this!!! Thank you Linda and Stewart.
Ok. Ok. I will start looking at my thrift store for stuff!! I guess my Grandmother was right after all🤣❤️🥰
Grandmother's are always right.😁
Love recycling op shop things it gets me so excited just getting something for small coins and turning it into a gift or for the house and garden the fence. Love watching your video's so inspiring thank you 💚
Linda, I love using thrift store finds in the garden. You supplied some great new ideas! Thanks.
I am so much like you. I found all kind of treasures in my basement. We look for old chairs and take the bottoms out and put netting and put flowers. I use an old metal wheelbarrow with holes.put dirt and 💐 flowers. I love all of your ideas. I use old beautiful plates , bottles, glass bowlset c in my gardens.
Love this! Really like the candle holder hooked over a fence or trellis idea.
I had that idea about 8 years ago. I had small mason jars which I used for candles and fastened them to my white lattice.
Really great ideas!!! I love the wire cloches and baskets, I have chickens this would work to keep them out of my pots.
Absolutely brilliant !!
too cute-love the shirt and pants!
Great video. Useful. To the point. No waffling.
Love these ideas! And love to thrift and recycle! Thank you!
Really good point about only buying a used plastic item.
LINDA, FIRST OF ALL I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE VIDEOS YOU HAVE GIVEN US DURING THE WINTER MONTHS THEY ARE OR I SHOULD SAY HAVE BEEN SO MUCH FUN!!!!!! THEY HAVE HELPED ME TO GET THROUGH THE WINTERTIME OF ROCHESTER NY,!!!!!!! I LOVE THRIFTING AND LOOKING FOR THE UNUSUAL IT IS SO MUCH FUN AND PRACTICAL, I WENT TODAY DID NOT FIND MUCH BUT I KNOW IT IS A TREASURE OUT THERE. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU YOU SOON. THANK YOU!!!!!
I love your thrift store makeovers!
Those pants are awesome!
Hurts to see you using that beautiful pan for gravel! Yuuch!
Totally terminator! Adorable and practical
Love your style, Linda!
Loved this! Thank you!
😅😆 you made me laugh when you said your husband has been mercilessly (and your son's also), making fun of you with "you are so creative" in that high pitch voice..... 😆
It's their "creative way" if verbalizing their love for you 💖☺️..... Loved one like teasing us but him being your camera person is showing great support ☺️ (even if he is laughing at you behind the camera and behind the scenes). Love your thrift finds and the uses you did with them!
What a great topic!
Brilliant!!!!! You have the best ideas!
I just love your thrift store videos!
I love your videos! Thank you for all the great tips! I love to use spray paint for my thrift store finds! I found a wire make- up vanity chair once at a thrift store and took it home. It looked kinda ratty so I spray painted it black, now I use it to display a potted plant. I also spray paint old plastic planter pots. Happy Gardening everyone! 💓❤️🧡💛💚💕
Thanks Linda, sometimes we all have trouble thinking outside the box.
Love the recycling ideas!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️. New subscriber, so glad to find someone else who repurposes non traditional garden items to make it unique.
Linda you crack me up because you remind me of ME!! I do the same thing! I love thrift store finds!! Funny, I get laughed at too!! :)
Love ❤️ your tips I have several items in my shed that I will be repurposing this spring.
I LOVE your thrift find videos! 😍
Fantastic Ideas! Love it!
Linda, you’re such a good teacher.
Loved this!❤️
I love this! Keep them coming!
Very creative ideas, loved them all.
Awesomely great! Thanks
Love this type of video
This is the first time I have seen your videos and I loved it you are so creative . I really love plants and flowers I worked for one spring/summer and am hooked and love plants and flowers. Love thrift stores 😀
Blessings love and light.

More great inspiration - I have been to the Goodwill weekly. I am getting to know the merch in my store very well...LOL. Thank you - enjoyed this very much!
What fun tips and great thrift finds--thank you for sharing
Love it!!!
Love the ideas, the finds and purposes. You re my winter soothing voice person and now a loving my planet person too. Were all in it😍👌
I love your channel. Thank you. I can no longer garden but you are giving me ideas for my gardener. I am also having a small conservatory added to my house so I can sit in winter sun. I need lots of ideas for plants to pack it full for next winter. I get so excited at the thought. Thank goodness you don’t do mosaic. I have just watched a garden full of it. It is not a plant. A birdbath and sun dial I have but what a garden is , is plants.
How 🥰 lovely!
Great ideas for the garden. Love them all. Thank you for sharing. Your videos are so interesting and informative!
Wonderful, TFS🙏👍🤣
Love all that stuff. Always on the look out...
I’m shopping tomorrow, so many good ideas
I LOVE UPCYCLE IDEAS! THANKS SO MUCH!
Love your ideas
Hi Linda, I am new to your channel, love your content. I have been gardening for 8 years and love it. This year I will be using my twin sons' wagon. They are 31 now, but it took me a long time to decide to use it. I will use it to hold some of my veggie plants, making it easier to move them around my backyard chasing the sun.
Smart👍👍
I have a couple of vintage style broken lamps that I love and plan on spay painting them stone, too.
1st I love your style, 2nd your gardening esthetic is so unique and last I love the idea of thrift gifts! The basket on the candle holder is simply genius...So inspiring!
I love when you break the fourth wall (4:44) and ask Stewart to answer your question. that makes me happy.
Last summer I repurposed an out of use wrought iron plate hanger that displayed three plates vertically. I hung it on the fence and hung three plant pots from it!
Smart you!

Loved this video. Thank you Laura & Aaron.
I love what you do
Some great tips here. Thanks. You rock the utility pants ! I love to pick up metal items too. Look forward to seeing the candelabra project when finished.
I love these so much!
I also just love this type of video , plus I already had some of these things I had purchased from thrift stores and you have given me some fantastic ideas!!! Thank you so much for all your videos!!!!
Excellent!
I love seeing this type of video, love repurposing and you have great ideas😄👍❤️
Love all your ideas! When I potted up some tulip bulbs, I was planning on just crossing my fingers that they’d survive the squirrels. A couple of days later I came across a couple battered hanging baskets buried in the garage. I upended them in the pots cloche style (they fit perfectly inside) and now every bulb has come up. I wish that was the case in the flower beds. 🤷🏻♀️
Clever girl
Chicken wire spread over your flower beds would probably work to thwart the squirrels and other bulb-eating critters. If you don't like the wire showing, cover it with mulch.
Like those pants. Agree with you Linda, I try to avoid buying new plastic things. Great segment! 👍
