I am so busy decorating my patio for Summer, I just can’t wait to fix everything up the way I want it. My theme this year is going to be, “My Secret Garden”, so when I found this excellent video tutorial by J.o.h.n. Ideas describing how to build a beautiful wishing well planter from a recycled 5-gallon water bottle, I was super excited! The tutorial is super easy and only requires a few materials to make, and it is very likely, you already have these materials lying around the house or garage. In my garden theme, I am going to incorporate all kinds of quaint items like miniature fairy gardens, and I am also building a faux mountain where I plan to display my collection of garden gnomes. I feel like this water bottle wishing well is going to look amazing as part of the gnome arrangement. I will also be playing lots of Led Zeppelin as I wander about my mystical environment, I can’t wait!
