St Johns Food Forest garden art by Ellen Eskildsen
We are a creative bunch here at St Johns Food Forest. Over the years we’ve created many “limited edition” objets d’art which make their way to the Sale Table during Garden Workshops and Open Days. These rustic treasures are made from materials recycled, salvaged, found, foraged or donated. Below is a selection of the artworks that we hope will inspire you to have a go at being creative in your own garden. Enjoy!
This pastel coloured bird house is made from recycled pallet wood (untreated), and acrylic paint left-over from previous projects. Several layers of paint have been dry brushed on to give a distressed, colour washed look, with stencilled stars.
