How To Use Thrift Store Finds in The Garden



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 :-)!

  1. Just found your video, enjoyed immensely, appreciate your ideas and use of thrift store finds, especially of plastic items. Thank you.

  2. I love those pants! Do they have a tag telling you what brand/maker?

  3. 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.

  4. any suggestions for planting under a pine tree, my new house had several hanging over the fence, cut it but the ground under is very ugly. mostly pine needles and dirt😏

  5. The thrift store has dog carriers for airplane transportation, recycled to the garden. Keeps animals out of seedlings

  6. Beautiful. I love to garden, I have been gardening from I was a little girl growing up in Jamaica West Indies. Oh how I wish you could come and visit my garden here in Lawrenceville GA.

  7. 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.

  8. You mentioned battery operated candles in the garden. I decided to use them in the gazebo. They were in the shade but we just had a heat wave in the Pacific Northwest. 113 degrees by our thermometer. They melt! Even in the shade, so bring them inside if it gets too hot. I now have deformed battery operated candles. LOL

  9. New to your videos and really enjoy them. Love your ideas on repurposing thrift store finds.
    I do have a real concern about the scissors / pruning shears in the loop of your pants. I am worried you will bend over too far or stumble and stab yourself.
    Stay safe and keep the videos coming.

  10. Get some Breck’s coral bells. In ground, or pots, mostly shade, keep soil moist, add coffee grounds 1x week for 2 weeks, mix or put next to ladies mantel. I emailed them photos of those coral bells and they are absolutely thriving now.

  11. 😅😆 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!

  12. 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!

  13. You remind me of my talented neighbor , she could turn a pile of horse manure into a nice Meatloaf

  14. You can look for mesh trash cans at good will and sometimes they cost less than the dollar store. But if it's more than a dollar twenty five, it might be more cost effective to buy them from the dollar store if they sell them in your local dollar store. Lol. I've noticed certain dollar stores don't sell the exact same thing. Or they might not sell the same size. For example; I lived in Moses lake and I used to buy seeds from my local dollar tree. I had moved to Wenatchee and I noticed that at the time they had not sold seeds. I even asked the staff. They said they had never sold seeds packets there. So I think that means every dollar store is different.
