eclectic garden inspiration

On my walks to the library I pass several yards on the same little street that always make me say "Wow, I want a yard like THAT!"  The lawns are small on space but big on personality - they are full of flowers and interesting objects, and they look like a cross between a lush cottage garden and wild meadow.

Near the curb of one of the houses is this rusted iron piece from an old sewing machine.  Next door the driveway has old tools and horseshoes set into the cement near the curb.

I really love these arbors hung with planters, too.  This gardener has really lush flower beds and lets everything go just a little wild.  Needless to say, this property is always buzzing with bees, birds, and butterflies!

Do  you have garden?  What's your style?
