These clever and attractive garden decorations add a bit of amusing entertainment welcoming guests and making your food production space into an inviting area for guests to browse as well.

Val of Love My DIY Home showed her sense of humor in a shabby chic display of most gardener's frustration: weeds. By taking a weathered board, she added decoration that could easily be incorporated into an outdoor space.
The clever blogger made a tongue-in-cheek sales pick for every garden's natural nemesis, proclaiming her "Weeds 4 Sale."
2. River rock garden markers
Any gardener who plants multiple varieties of plants can get confused by young indistinguishable seedings. Blogger Devin Gable shared an artful and fun way to solve the mystery in her post for the West Valley City Mom's Blog. Using both written labels and colorful representation, Gable turned river rocks into smart and sharp markers. This would be a great project to involve children as well.
3. Terracotta welcome sign
Look in most gardener's potting sheds and you'll find a collection of either mismatched or slightly damaged terra cotta pottery. Instead of mourning or hiding these pieces, blogger Samantha from Zest it Up upcycled these pieces and made some adorable garden signs. Chipped areas go in the ground. Markers add clever messages. Before you know it your tragic terra cotta transforms into creative fun.
