I don’t have any reason to decorate for Hallowe’en any more as where we live we don’t get any trick or treaters and we spend the evening with our granddaughter, who has a Hallowe’en birthday. So this year I decided to add Jack O’Garden to the Fall decorating. It’s fa’boo’lous.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!I started with an 88 cent pumpkin and cleaned out the inside as I love roasted pumpkin seeds. Then I walked around the garden and found items for hair, mouth, eyes and ears.
I filled the inside with dirt so that when I poke in the various items they will be a bit more secure. Plus when it is all done and the features get removed the pumpkin plus dirt will just get tossed into the composter.
hens & chicks are eyes … rudbekia seedpods for the mouth … a trailing plant from a planter and seem sedum blooms for the hair … small cedar pieces for ears … a small beetroot for the nose
With other garden items it would look totally different.
Jack O’Garden sits happily on the log adding a festive Fall decor to the front garden.
Jack O’Garden will only be around for a short while before the frost makes him all squashy, but I’m sure he will be making another appearance next year and maybe he’ll bring a friend with him.
Hope your Hallowe’en is ‘spook’tacular, fa’boo’lous and ‘boo’tiful.
