Gingham Gardens

I love the makeovers, the flower garden tours and the tips, but my favorite posts to share are the ones showing off my garden vignettes using vintage items and junk that I’ve picked up at flea markets, estate sales and garage sales. I’m so excited to show you this year’s flower garden vignettes using Upcycled […]

The summer is going way to fast for me. I’m in total denial that it’s already the end of July. The gardens are looking great though and I’m the happiest when I can be outside tending my plants and flowers. Come along and join me for Gingham Gardens’ July Flower Garden Tour. We have so […]

Today I’m sharing another Flower Garden Makeover, with lots of Before and After photos, as well as photos and details of the process. Do you have an area in your yard that you’ve deemed impossible and you just do your best to ignore it? This area I’m about to show you was exactly that, except, […]

Oh how I love this time of year! Every day something new is putting on a show in my gardens. Come along as we have a look-see at what is blooming in my Summer Flower Gardens. Oh, and before we get started with our garden tour, it would help me out ever so much, if […]

I’ve been so eager to share another garden makeover, but wanted to wait on this one until it was just right. Best part, this Shade Garden Makeover comes with a Fire Pit area.  Just a little background on our fixer upper yard. We moved into our current fixer upper home in August of 2016. So […]

I’m very excited to share my Flower Gardens – Late Spring Blooms with you all. Actually, our spring has been crazy hot even for a Minnesota summer. So, the spring blooms are basically here today, gone tomorrow. Through the heat, we’ve been working on lots of outdoor projects and I can’t wait to show you all the changes […]

I love water features in the garden. The sound of trickling water just adds an extra dose of peace and tranquility to the garden. Today I’m sharing a sweet backyard water feature from our former home and some simple instructions for building your own small garden pond. We’ve contemplated adding some type of waterfall, brook […]

I’m so excited and happy that you joined me for the first Gingham Gardens Tour of 2018 – Springtime in the Gardens. We definitely had a delayed spring here in Minnesota (Zone 4b), but things are starting to pop now in the gardens. My favorite garden pictures are those of an entire bed or small […]

It’s still winter here in Minnesota and I’m so over it! We just got another 9+ inches of snow this week, but I keep telling myself only a few more weeks… I decided what I needed this week is just a good dose of pure Flower Garden Eye Candy! I had so much fun going […]
