My Cute Garden Gate

By Manuela Williams

I’ve been wanting to paint at least one of my garden gates ever since I did that post on Colorful Garden Gates! Here’s a look at one gate leading into my vegetable garden that I painted recently.

I have a white picket fence that goes around my vegetable garden (which has two entrances).  This is the smaller gate.

I had a little bit of of white exterior latex left and mixed some other odds and ends with it to get this nice shade of green.

The gate is flanked by arbors and one side I have grapes growing up some lattice. The other side has a HUgE KnockOut Rose.

I just love it it! It’s so cheery!

    Your gate turned out very nicely! Your garden looks so tidy and nice. Mine is going fine, but with painting that side of the house there’s a ton of junk piled in and among that normally goes elsewhere along the back of the house, so it’s not very photogenic right now.

    Oh Sweetie…
    How beautiful is the garden gate you made. I love the light green color, it is so heavenly. Just perfect with that gorgeous glower attached as well. It just screams “HAPPY”. Your garden is delightful. I could spend hours out there. I love wondering around and seeing all the hidden treasures in one’s garden area.

    Love the grape vine growing up your arbor. How fun it is. Have a glorious weekend dear friend.
    Many hugs, Sherry

    It looks so welcoming. I want to open the gate and see what’s happening back there. That really is a huge knockout rose.

    I love that. It looks fantastic. I have been threatening to make a garden gate out of a pallet – and your cute gate much just push me to do it!

    How pretty, Manuela! I love that flower you added, too! That arbor will be looking beautiful when it’s at the height of its bloom.

    I think if I could visit one place in Blog Land, it would be your back yard garden. I always love the posts about it, and this is no exception. Your gate is wonderful and whimsical!

    I love your gate! So cute that it almost makes me want to put in a garden just to have a gate! But our summer was so hot and dry last year that it was a struggle to keep our garden alive. We’re on water restrictions, so we just did some pots of tomatoes this year. But as much as the gate, I adore the arbor!!

    It’s adorable! I love the big metal flower too:>)

    Darling Manuela! You know what, last week I was at a local nursery picking up come knockout roses for my garden, and I noticed the owners had painted their picket fence… BLACK.. it was connected to a black iron gate and he wanted it to blend in… You wouldn’t think it would look good, but it was beautiful surrounded by all the greenery and blossoms at the nursery!
