Would You Like This Guy Lurking  in Your Garden? Probably


I spotted this cutie at the Epcot Flower and Garden Show and fell in love with him. There were even instructions.

Garden Guy



In case you are sight-challenged (like me), I’ve rewritten them for you.

  1. Cut two ropes for arms and two longer ropes for legs.
  2. Arms -  string 4” squat terracotta pots through holes, knotting between pots for spacing.
  3. Legs - string 4” terracotta pots through holes, knotting between pots.
  4. Thread both arm ropes through a 6” pot for the head.pot garden guy
  5. Thread both leg ropes through an 8” pot for the body.
  6. Continue leg ropes through a second 8’  body pot.
  7. Attach the two body pots with outdoor glue (top to top edges). Let Dry. Tie off leg ropes extending through top pot.
  8. Glue head and arms to body.
  9. Glue moss between pots as needed.
  10. Add fashion accessories (okay, it doesn’t say that) like hat, gloves, scarf or whatever you have in mind.


And your pot guy is good to go. Thanks to Epcot and the Florida Nursery, Growers, and Landscape Association aka FNGLA - I think he’s adorable. I guess he could easily be a she also.

Anita - you're welcome!

Fred - you can make hime as big or as small as you want. A giant or a midget :) That would control the cost somewhat.

Kristin - you would just have to get used to seeing him!

Rebecca - I didn't think of that. I need one for my deer. We have a mom with a new baby so I don't mind feeding them.

Barbara Jo - I don't think he would do that - it's the unions, you know.

Kristin - I didn't put it together; the folks at Disney did but I can't imagine it would take over an hour of time except for the glue drying time.

Mona - that's always a good thing too!

Lou - it sure is.

Donna - that would be fun to do with a child and let them accessorize. If you do it, i'ld like to see a picture.

That is absolutely adorable!  Very clever and creative.  If I had a yard, I would put together one of those!  Very neat.

Toni,

I love it and I think he would make a great scarecrow! I have seen these before but had not seen instructions.  You could also make baby ones (mini mes) with little pots...A

There is one thing that no one can do quite like Disney!  And that's to blow folks away with their imagination!

Nifty yard art and not expensive.   I'm thinking there's lots of room for creativity with paint as well as accessories.

Toni- I think it's cute but I can tell you now that if I tried to make one, I'd end up with a big heap of crockery.

Toni~ Hadn't thought about accessorizing.  That would be loads of fun. I'm definitely going to do it.  Need to go to Hobby Lobby and get supplies!
