I found this driftwood on the beach at Sanibel Island this past summer; I knew it belong in my garden, but where?

I was not happy with the way the back garden was looking, especially around the water fountain. Aha!!! a perfect place to put the driftwood.
I moved the bromeliads back around the water fountain and set the driftwood with air plants in the center.
The kalanchoe plants were moved to where the bromeliads were and I added three peach crossandras for color.
I got a strange look from my next-door neighbor, he probably thinks that I am nuts, moving plants around every couple of weeks. What can I do, I’m never satisfied, that’s what makes gardening fun.

Seems perfectly normal to me.
I think it all looks great.
Driftwood and bromeliads, the perfect partners. Well done, Rusty!!

Rusty, that looks pretty. Did you know you could also try growing bonsais in driftwood?

Hi Rusty~~ First time visitor here. Your driftwood title caught eye. Your garden is beautiful and your creative use of the driftwood is admirable. I have three large pieces of driftwood that my son gave me. I've got them by one of my ponds and they look great but I'm always open to new ideas. Love your hardscape and fountain.
What an improvement Rusty. I love driftwood and I really, really love yours as you have planted it up so very nicely.
The driftwood is certainly added interest in the garden, looks great. If I worried about what my neighbors thought of my gardening indecisions, I'd never garden!
The driftwood looks great!!!I have a piece my dad relocated from Ft DeSoto,30 years ago,and have done the same thing with.
Kudos on the your's!!!
Hi Rusty. I do the same with my driftwood - Tillandsias.
Hi Rusty, I adore driftwood of all types, but the bigger the better! You have made a wonderful focal point even better with its addition. Love the broms on it too.

Very nice Rusty. I like to plant small succulents in the nooks & crannies of driftwood.
Great idea...I love the look!
