A Dish Garden!!!

I love to find different ways to use things that most would throw away. During the course of our everyday lives we break or chip pieces of dishware such as cups, plates, old vases and even figurines. Don't throw them away because they have been broken, even if they are broken in half. Instead fix a flower bed with mulch around a tree or sidewalk. Place the colorful plates and items around in the flower bed just as if they were flowers. I even hunt out colorful pieces or interesting figuers that are broke and selling for a quarter at yard sales for my dish garden. I have seen potters take their old pottery and place them in a garden when the glaze did not take right, or the pot cracked and broke. You can do the same with any glass, dish or figuer. Be creative and see how your garden grows!!
