Things that swing and dangle in the garden…
I’m not talking porch swings, swings sets, tire swings, (see Gardeners Make Great Swingers) nor wind chimes and bird feeders.
Here’s a collection of things that swing I’ve found in gardens – items that are found hanging – but not against a wall or fence – and intended to be seen from more than just one angle.
These include pendant lights, artwork, windows, planters, chandeliers, and even a bike – like in the lead photo. It’s a photo used in my book, Buffalo Style Gardens, Create a Quirky, One-of-a-Kind Private Garden with Eye-Catching Designs, in the garden of Christopher of the garden blog Outside Clyde. Christoper’s garden is in North Carolina. He took the lead photo. He also hung the bike.
Is there something I can find for you?
Whatever it is, I may have it in my 70,000+ photos! Let me know – leave a comment. Here are other garden features I’ve assembled from my photo collection.
