Free Lawn Decorations

I found all of these Christmas lawn decorations. The trees do light up but everything else needs to be restrung with lights. I just like that I now have lawn decorations for the holiday whereas I used not to and I have a little holiday scene in my small front yard. There is the Santa sleigh, five reindeer (4 large, 1 baby one), the street lamp pole, and the two trees. I also found the white spray painted branches with the bows on them.

Toomuchglass - I found them out curb shopping. Not all in the same place, here and there around town, for the past couple of months, driving around to a store or wherever. I found the Santa sleigh and two more of the large reindeer last week as I was going to work. I was sooooo happy to find the sleigh. Now I just need a Santa. My neighbor has one that her kids broke, maybe she'll toss it over the fence to me (LOL).

What I read about pendamethalin says it should be safe after about 7 days, the other, Vessie, contains products that are purported to be safe when dry although I would not allow children to play on grass so treated for 7 days as well since most organic sources recommend not using grass clippings from such lawns in a compost pile for at least two cuttings. If the owner of the at fault "lawn care" company does not offer to pay your natural lawn care company for tat least the rest of the summer there is very little you can do since the mind set for most people today is that those products are generally recognized as safe even though we know they are not. The play structure can be hosed down several times to wash off any of the product that may have attached to it. kimmq is kimmsr

Kind of hard to see with all the "ads" but lots of design ideas. Just wish the article listed the plants specifically. For instance, this Santa Monica garden has what looks like ceanothus, but which variety? And what is the tree in the middle? I need little labels on all plants.

If you decide to restring them, our neighbor had a white deer and took lights and just looped them around the frame. Looked easier to do then replacing the lights as the manuf. strung them. If it were me I would have used WHITE corded lights instead of green. During the day it looks..odd. I would love to find some old brown deer, animals. I would forget the lights and leave them in my woods all year.

Arcy, Thank you for the restringing idea. I was thinking, boy that's a lot of work to restring them, how can I do without spending a fortune on lights. I have seen the brown deer around town and they look better than the white I think so I even thought of taking off the lights completely on the deer and spray painting mine brown. As for other animals, a neighbor down the street has a "cow" - it's soooo cute, got the black spots on the side with a little Santa hat. Further down there is an ice igloo and some penguins, very pretty.

I too thought of just spray painting over the white, so now I am on a mission. Save the land fills from unwanted animals. Send me your darkened deer, moose, bear I will give them permenant homes under the oaks guarding my hosta!

I know this is an old post, but I'm kinda new and am skimming through all the awesome posts here. Congrats on you great finds! Those are so expensive, what a deal!I had a funny thought when you answered toomuchglass's question about where you found them- curb shopping.....how close were they to the curb? :) couldn't resist!

They were super close to the curb TTRBB, they were being thrown out. That's fair game around here!
