Is this not AMAZING?!? When I spotted these I wasn’t quite sure if I was looking at an altered photo or what I was seeing. But these are giant pinecones made from recycled shovels. They are the work of Patrick Plourde. Pop on over to Carex blog to see more garden design by Carolyn Mullet where these were spotted and see more of Patrick’s work at his site. Have a wonderful and recycled crafty weekend!
