A Rustic Secret Garden for Habitat for Humanity

Have you ever wanted to create your very own secret garden? Learn how in this tutorial using repurposed items and a whole lot of creativity!I was so excited and honored when I was contacted by Habitat for Humanity to create a project using exactly what I love… repurposed items and nature! T
Today on their blog they are featuring mine (and Ava’s of course!) gorgeous and rustic secret garden and tea party. I had so much fun creating this beautiful area, and it has already been used countless times.
Plus, can’t you imagine using the same basic principles creating other similar events? For instance, a wedding or even another celebration of sorts would be absolutely AMAZING in the woods! So many possibilities!
All you need for this for this project is a few basic items like:
- reclaimed windows
- branches
- mason jars
- candles
- curtains
- and other decorative items to make this place special!
Depending on where you would like to put your tea party will ultimately depend on how much work it will take to create. I first had to clear out a section of our woods since I wanted it to be tucked away. This particular cleanup took an entire Saturday to complete, but it was totally worth it!

I found this on pinterest and pinned it. Could be great inspiration for couples having a small wedding. <3 I also enjoy the connection to Habitat, one of my favorite charitable orgs. Nice work!
That’s such a great idea, Christie! Thank you for stopping by 🙂
