- I’ll show you mine if you tell me yours. 😂Let’s do another THRIFTING SUNDAY and show off our junking scores we’re now using in the garden. Also, let me know if you’re like me. Do you get rid of more then you take in when you go thrifting? I find this does two things. It gives me both the satisfaction of having some thing ‘new’, while also that wonderful feeling of getting rid of things I don’t use much. Tell me your thrifting doctrine!

my husband hates that you introduced me into thrifting. Everytime I see a good will or junk shop I make him STOP! !!!! I love IT!!!!!
Haha!
One thrift store find I love is bird cages which I repurpose as hanging "baskets". I spray paint them to match my garden theme and then fill them with small pots or if the bottom is deep enough potting soil and plants. They always look so beautiful to me.
Please post some pics
Love that idea!
Me too! I’m at Home Depot buying five cans of white spray paint, Krylon 2, every other week. Love the birdcages, and I have been doing the turning the old metal table trick and using it as a plant stand for the last couple of years as well.
@@mattikarosenthal3298 Me too!
@@mattikarosenthal3298 Lol! I've been turning metal plant stands into little side tables! I glued a thrifted serving platter on the plant stand and now I have a place for my morning coffee or a tall glass of sweet tea later on.
You are my favorite gardener on You tube .. i am 82 and still love gardening every year.. this year i am adding containers to my garden ,
I love your spirit! I hope to be you when I’m 82. Please make sure to send me images of your containers and let me know how they performed… Good or bad. The world needs role models like you!
❤️❤️
Linda,I love your style,I love your ethics,I love your sense of humor,I love how you are down to earth and your thrifyness,I love your outlook on life, I love your creativity....you have inspired me no end.BIG THANK YOU
I love how you are still using the basket, with no bottom, in your garden. I do the same thing, and it looks great. I also love the idea of how you used the base from an old table, turned it upside down, and put your birdbath into it. GREAT IDEA!
The “before” videos are wonderful. Just love that you are teaching us all about designing in the garden and thrift store ideas. Truly inspiration! Thank You!
I pass up so many things because I don’t have any imagination. Hope watching your videos will change that. I get a lot of ideas watching.
****** I live in a forested community (mossy fairy land) 90 minutes north of Seattle. Not only do I get the rain, but being in the forest I get mostly shade! So I usually garden with various shades, height and textures of green!
I do want to add that thanks to you I now have the drill bit that drills through glass and pottery! No more drowning plants! Also, I've often drilled holes in my metal containers, when I needed one for a vase, I clean that hole and thoroughly dry it, then hot glue the hole to seal it. When it goes back outside I just peel off the hot glue plug! Easy peasy!*****
You are so clever!
Reminds me of Bellingham! I’ve some family there and have lived visiting! I’m in Ohio... quite a different terrain!
@@marialaing7130 You got it. And in Sudden Valley! Very different!
My son lived in Sudden Valley! I know the area. Topper Drive! @ dailychaos8
I "shopped" in my garage yesterday and found d a hummingbird feeder. I'm finding a place for it today hoping to attract those beautiful hummingbirds.
I really appreciate that you are showing the before and than the afters. Also love the thrift store ideas. Take us with you next time, that would be fun.
The upside down table to support the large bird bath is a genius idea! I often see them at thrift stores. I recently found an old aluminum gallon sized water heater (looks like a large teapot) that I thought would be so fun to make into a container planter.
I love your 'thrift' videos - so inspiring for repurposing things we have lying about, or for inexpensive purchases to serve various purposes! Thanks so much!
You truly have a gift. A gift to see extraordinary beauty in the ordinary or sometimes less than ones. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us to see that too
Love to see the “befores and uglys” (truly there are no uglys) and how you make things work for you. Such great talent!!
Oh my gosh! I thought that I was the only one that liked old boxes. Good to know there are others. As a new viewer, I really enjoy your videos and have gotten a ton of ideas.
Linda!! I love love... the way you partner with the squirrels.... 😂😂. Great ideas 💐💐💐
You are a gracious host. Inviting comments from others and acknowledging you are still learning. It's a joy and a stress relief when I watch. Thank you for sharing.
Oooh... another thrift store treasure finds video! I love these! ♥️
John and I love to repurpose things for the garden. He is so talented at redoing things. He has found many things on the side of the street for trash😊❤️😊
Wow. That was such a delight to watch. You do have a gift. Thanks for so generously sharing YOU with the rest of us.
Thank you for another great video with lots of ideas! I'm looking forward to your Qvc line!
I recently bought an old trunk and plan to heavily paint protect it , then drill holes for drainage and plant it up opened in my back yard garden! You are an inspiration on recycle, repurpose, reuse for indivisual artsy people! Thank you for this gift!
I picked up a tv table on the side of the road. Sprayed it with black paint an use it as a end table on the porch. A also found 4 others with paint on them. I painted them white . I hand painted flowers on them and use them in house . Love them.
Love all your ideas! While watching, I thought of a small bench doing absolute nothing in the basement that I’m going to haul outside, sand a bit to rough it up, and use it for plants. Or drinks.
Send a pic!
Great video Linda!! So many cute ideas. My mind is swirling and I'm about to shop my house and garage for unique garden items!
Linda: Today was the first time, ever, seeing your channel! OMG how did I miss you!?? Naturally I subscribed! You are such an amazing woman with an artistic flair for gardening, and using various pots, that is so impressive. The love of my life died in 2019. He lived the yard and the awesome shed he designed. I am turning it into a She-Shed. My family is so supportive of me to do whatever I please with my ahed! Your use of various pots has really encouraged my creativity. So my friend who told me I have such a lively home and don’t need to sit in my shed, can just chill with me and I will show her!! Today, You said everyone needs a convertible once in their life was awesome! Bob died in February 2019 and by July, I had a white Buick Cascada convertible. (my two grandkids say I am awesome!) I am going to probably binge watch all your past episodes because I am so impressed! Rather than a bunch of grass lawn, I really wish I had such a garden as you do!! Keep up your impressive gardening ideas along with your thrift store finds!! I’m so glad I found your channel!

Welcome! You are always welcome through my garden gate!
Thank goodness your talking about your birdbath. I have admired it for the last few years that I’ve been watching you! I love to thrift as well. You have wonderful thrift ideas. Thank you Linda😃
I love seeing the befores! I'm just now starting to plant containers and you have given me lots of ideas and how-tos. Thank you for helping new beginners like me. You are pleasant to watch and listen to and I love your honest, down-to-earth demeanor. Very refreshing!
I brought geraniums last week from Lowe’s, saved them from the clearance racks!!!
Smart you!!
Watching you help your gardens recover and reinvent themselves is a great learning tool for all of us. Your 'uglies' are still beautiful!
I have found so many amazing garden things at my Goodwill. Lots of cachepots, containers, plant stands, and garden 'art'.
With these finds I like to imgaine I am keeping someone's love of gardening going...
Everything looks amazing and I love how you use all your thrift finds in your garden 🌿🌼🌸
I also had a day of fun playing in the dirt like a kid yesterday! I am feeling the pain today from digging up Sierra foothill hardpan rocky tree root laden soil. But so satisfying!
Love the thrifty garden ideas! I have a tall metal plant stand and several baskets that I purchased recently based on your inspiration Linda. I also have a few metal fruit type bowls that I use to elevate small potted plants in the garden. I’m waiting anxiously for your QVC premier and those hanging baskets! So exciting for you and your fans! Have a blessed day! 🌷🌷🪴🪴💕
I just made a wicker clothes basket into a pot holder. It's beautiful. I love thrifting so will start looking for more things for my garden.
I love the befores as much as the afters. It's the process of gardening and creating we all love and if the result is beautiful for the eyes or yummy for the tummy it makes our gardeners ' hearts sing and our souls truly happy. Thank you for so much inspiration and tips. I do love the metal stands in any form and I am very fond of the hanging baskets, hanging or on candle stands. I bought some after I saw them in your videos. ❤️ Love Anja
Thrift stores are so much fun!!! Recently have been shopping after a long time away. Having fun!
Good Morning! I am a pretty avid gardener, but have never tackled my own topiary before.
Yesterday sculpted a couple small boxwoods. Absolutely love them on my patio. Going back for a couple more today. Thank you for always sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Thank you Linda. Will be looking for those wrought iron tables that I can turn upside down, great idea also, I noticed the spent amarilys bulbs on the side as you talked about the tray tables Would you please do a video addressing what you do with them after they bloomed, storage, etc etc.
I love going thift-ing I’ve done it for years; it’s so rewarding and fun. Thanks for sharing with us.
Linda, your thrifting ideas are awesome!
LOVE the year ago look back idea! I get this kind of update from google photos, "on this date 1 year, 2 year...etc" They are so helpful to recall what I've done. Best wishes for your new garden spaces.
Great tips I love thifty items for the inside and outside.Happy growing and stay safe.
Your yard is just beautiful and it’s such a beautiful place to just stay and hang out thank you so much for sharing all the joy have a beautiful garden
Love ❤️ Love ❤️ Love your thrift videos and always enjoy all the gardening goodness you share! Thank You!
Your bird bath idea is great!
I have a Craigslist fountain $40 and a Marketplace wrought iron bench $30 that I love in my garden. I love thrifting.
Such great ideas! My mouth literally dropped open when you talked about the item from the $ tree for cleaning glass table tops. I never would have thought of that. I recently went to a small thrift store with one of your previous videos in mind and had a blast. Found some really cool stuff! Thanks for your amazing font of ideas!
Just found your channel! I'm an avid gardener and spent this breezy spring day playing outside as well. Sometimes, I feel guilty--but I get over that quickly!
I spy spent amaryllis bulbs. Please do a video on what you plan to do with these during the summer.
Yes please ! What do you do with spent amaryllis ?
I'd like to say a big WOW on the bird bath
Looking forward to watching the whole thing but had to comment, thank you for the family grouping planter gifting idea!! Love it sooo much! I blessed that pretty much all the special people in my world would love that thoughtful gift 🤍
I loe my white geraniums and love my scenteds too. I used to have Earl Grey, Rose, lemon, lime, chocolate, and now I can hardly find any. Love your garden, such an inspiration. While I am still nursing two broken arms and a bad back, you are helping me since I can't fully garden yet without help. I use my grandson's radio flyer, it has two seats in it that I fold over, fill with soil and plant my lettuce so I can move into shade.
You are very resourceful and i love it. Same with me every old container is a treasure
Thanks Linda loving all this ideas!..love to upcycle items to use in my garden.... less from the landfill !
So adorable. Love the bird bath idea. I have 2 marble sink vessels I will not use inside but they will be my new bird baths !
Your garden is coming along beautifully love all you thrift shop finds beautiful pots you found to give away -lucky Steward! 🪴
Thanks for all the inspiration!!!❤❤👍👍
Thanks so much for being so thorough in your tours they your garden!❤️
Love the new opening graphic! Branding baby! So smart to thrift for the useful additions to one’s garden. Makes it uniquely yours! Repurposing is sooo GREEN! Keep up the great work, Linda. 🤓
Scrolling through gardening videos, I was inspired when I found your amazing videos. I have a small garden and really enjoyed watching this morning while having my coffee.
I really like these thrift videos! It’s so lovely how you use these items to create a great space...your videos have really inspired me. 😀
Thanks so much for the tips. I am just getting into gardening and I am also a thrifter so, I am excited to combine the two things.
The upturned table with the birdbath made me laugh out loud. I would never have guessed . Talk about thinking outside the box. Love it . ❤️
Great ideas for my next thrifting trip. I am using a galvanized metal “box” (probably an AC part) to store my fertilizer, ect on my potting bench. I actually used shelves from my old closet for my potting bench instead of buying new wood. I pick up old pots at thrift stores and even in the trash.
My favorites are a circa 1915 era pot and a French terracotta pot that had patina already. I’m still on the hunt for more plant stands and baskets. Never know what you’ll find on these treasure hunts.
I adore the decayed coir additions to your pots! ❤ Definitelty going to use this delightful addition in pots!
Thank you! Your ideas really inspire me to reuse and repurpose!! Wonderful ❤️
Linda one of the things I have done similar to your wooden stool table is use a wooden crate from a craft store turned vertically you can put a plant on top and inside the box. I have also lined a crate and planted them full of multicolored snap dragons they are rustic displays I use by my side door.
Today was great so many ideas. The scarf looks great it’s called eyelash yarn made a lot of those years ago . Can’t wait for your journal to come 😊
Love seeing your thrifted items. I am a thrift store holic. I have one right across the street and visit several times a week. Always new/used items with lots of life left.
Beautifully creative!! Love strolling through your garden!!
These videos are my favorite! I love thrifting and you have such great ideas. I learn how to use an old item in a new way every time I watch.
Great thrift ideas!! I especially am impressed with how you turned that stand upside down for a fitted birdbath😲 I got my concrete birdbath free as someone was throwing out! It had a small crack that my hubby sealed & robins are bathing in this Spring & past Springs. So cute to see them splashing around in it. So get yours cleaned up for the birds soon 🐦
Simply lovely!🌺😊
I have my laptop on one of those TV trays, its the perfect height for me. So many uses for them. I love looking at your garden, so pretty
Love the shredded liner!
Hi there I love the bird bath sitting on the up side down table .the garden is beautiful . The little tables are handy thank you x
Whew!! I just pulled two wooden TV trays out of my donation pile. I thought I knew everything about thrifting and junk gardening! Still learning...thank you for the inspiration. Love all your ideas...AND I recently thrifted some great gardening pants for $5 each, thanks to your tip!
I love your creativity and have been able to use many of your ideas in my garden. Looking forward to your launch on QVC and ordering those beautiful baskets. Thank you!
Great ideas. That would be great the before and after videos, I'm always comparing. You are so amazing in your gardening, I love to see your process of designing and putting it into action. Thank you for sharing.
I really enjoy seeing your ideas. It inspires me to go to the thrift stores to see what I can find to repurpose.
I just love your garden. The seasons are swinging all over the place here in Ireland but great to be out in the fresh air and making a good start on my many projects. I look forward to visiting the thrift stores (called charity shops here) when they eventually re-open after lockdown. Not sure when that will be.
Love your ideas! The TV trays are wonderful. And yes, nothing better than being exhausted and dirty at the end of the day! ❤️
Thanks, Linda, this video gave me a lightbulb moment. I have a large clay planter drip tray on top of a metal plantstand that I use as a birdbath. It suddenly became very lopsided on its three legs and I couldn't get it to sit evenly. I turned it upside down so the round part is in the dirt and now the birdbath is level sitting on top of the three small legs . Don't worry, it's so heavy it's not going to go anywhere ! Thanks again for the inspiration. x
Love love love the bird bath!!!
Thank you!
I love that idea for the bird bath.
I bought 4 scented geraniums after seeing you pot yours! Can’t wait for them to arrive.
I'm going to to try this. I have a new home up in a mountain. Mostly sandy. What should I be planting? I put two different kinds or Azelias. And just starting to plant more.
My friend used to garage sale for old small baskets. She would line with cut up black plastic garbage bags. Poke some drainage holes and plant impatience in dirt directly in the basket.
The frist video of yours which I watched had the theme of thrift store finds for the garden. Most likely it came my way because I have a big interest in recycling and in ways of living well on a small budget. Thank you for this video and please, keep them coming!
I do you love these types of videos you always do such a great job on everything you do.. You make me want to go out looking in yard sales and secondhand stores to see what beautiful things I could re-purpose in use in my garden hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy until the next video
Super impressed on the birdbath. Awesome idea. Thank you! Looking forward to your QVC line!
Hi Linda...it was by happenstance that I found your channel. I love your garden thrift finds and recycling to make the garden beautiful with hardscapes. I am embracing your talent and creativity which I am a garden lover and a member of a garden club!
Love your thrift store uses soooo much
Just found your channel and love it! Thanks for sharing your gardening knowledge. Just starting to learn after retiring though I have not much space to work with and the Florida heat to contend with. .
I would love more video's like this. I am very similar to where I find things curbside and repurpose and you have some really great ideas! Thanks for sharing.
At the little bells that are blooming on that bush so pretty
I love unusual items to use in the garden also.
Love, love, love deutzia! I have three that have grown together for a dramatic spring look. Bonus is that these beauties are deer resistant 💚
Great video, so enjoyed your finds and ideas.💕💕💕
I love the thrifting ideas. I have been thrifting for more than 25 years. Recently I started researching my finds and to my surprise, the value of my treasures from many years of collecting had increased about $6000 to $8000. Wow shocked me. Some things I paid $10 for were worth $100 to $1000. So every one keep on thrifting.
Love this! I'm going to go start thrifting again now. What a gem of an idea and fun saturday day trip.
Hi Linda, I'm new to your channel and I have learned so much already. I'm getting ready to tackle a small fire pit patio similar to yours, which by the way, I'm obsessed with. I also am going with pink this year with white, lots of green and a few little pops of yellow here and there. Thanks so much for the inspiration. I am looking forward to what you ate doing next. Have a great day. Tammy
Enjoyed the visit to the fabulous garden center.
