I needed something spring, but without splurging on flowers during Lent.
We put together a little wild garden using only what we found outside.
- Take your shovel to that mossy patch under the air conditioner.
- Shake out anything that wiggles.
Tuck in a few clumps of wild violets, a textured rock, a few wispy branches for height.
Then we remembered this little bunny, still buried under last summer's mondo grass.
Water, drain, and slip into a pretty basket. Will last till Easter--or longer!

Lovely! We were out in the yard messing around with the wonderful green surprises popping up here and there in our yard - including some wonderful moss! Your sweet violets are miles ahead of ours, and we are expecting snow Monday, but soon spring will come to stay - very soon I hope!
Very pretty! I love the originality of your arrangement.
Very, very pretty. Lots better than just plain flowers. Not that your flowers are ever plain. ; )
Okay...that is just too pretty~

That's just very pretty!
I love it!
That is so very cute. Your ideas always surprise me. So very cheerful. Hope your Easter is wonderful. Roxie
Yea - it's beautiful. I have a few things buried as well, and I do think it was a bunny AND a frog. :)
I planted the violets and my hubby isn't happy. They have reseeded EVERYwhere...so pretty down our drive way but for some reason he isn't liking them all over the grass...hmm :)
Simply lovely and so very creative. I can hardly wait to dig in the soil and create my own!

Meredith, that so clever of you and it looks so pretty! I have those wild violets all over one corner of my yard and I love them!

Great idea, and so pretty and simple!
I meant to mention it to you - Sabrina and I were looking at it. The bunny caught her eye and she thought it was so cute that the bunny had a strawberry tucked in there to eat!
What a wonderful idea! I would have never thought about this.
Love the new yellow paint too.
Love it - violets are one of my favorites!
