The Upcycled Garden May 2013

This is my third Upcycled Garden blog post! There are so many smart and creative
ways to use salvaged and recycled materials in your garden landscape that I 
thought the topic well deserves more than one single post! 

Here is my collection of  Upcycled Garden inspiration for May 2013. Enjoy!
