Garden delights in lovely French design
‘Found’ and Flea Market gardening objects add charming, vintage-style to these gardens…

The Little Shop Antiques and Gardens has a French vintage look

Love Love Love your site and pins… A new follower for sure..
Thanks so much, Cheryl…
A friend told me about Flea Market Gardening Magazine. While searching for it I came on your web site. Much of my gardening is in odd containers and in odd spots. So glad to see others do too. Still searching for a copy of the magazine.
This time of year, some folks mix us up with Flea Market Gar”DENS” magazine since their annual issue comes out this month.
Our names are similar, but we, Flea Market Garden”ING” are the most active friendly Facebook PAGE ever!!! Our photos are of your real gardens and of very ‘doable’ fun projects.
We love to comment and ask questions so it’s very interactive…AND fast moving, so come back often, there’s always something new to see and inspire! Fun!!
Love this site. Lots of great ideas!!
Thanks so much, Cathy…
Oh my. I have spring fever so bad, and all these pretty pictures are making me want to kick off my shoes and walk barefoot in the grass, and smell the earth as I work in my garden.
Hi,
I found your fabulous site on FB and liked – goodness what a wonderful site. I am an artist and gardener and my garden was featured in the current issue of Flea Market Gardens magazine and at first thought you were part of the magazine. Most of my garden is container gardening and I love your website and the beautiful photos you publish.
I have a blog http://www.mypaintedgarden.com and would love to have you come over some time for a vist.
Thank you for for all of the beauty and inspiration.
Blessings,
Erin
Thank you, Erin, for your compliments! I have been reading my issue of Flea Market Gardens during lunchtimes and it’s fabulous this year. I am so impressed with your garden in the magazine… I’ve shared your beautiful website with my personal friends and they like it very much….
