Oh how I love my Golden Chain tree!  She’s small, but brings me such delight!

Wish I could say that the bicycle was the one I rode as a child.  Nada, I bought it at an antiques shop years ago for $15.  I do however, remember having one very similar.

Thought I’d share a couple of other bikes I’ve seen.

I just saw this one on the garden tour.  Love the white overflowing petunias!

These two were at a shop in Roosevelt, UT called ‘Black Eyed Susans’.

Anyway they plant them, I can’t help but love them!

I hope this will make you want to be part of the ‘CHAIN GANG’!

What a pretty bicycle to add to your landscape. And I didn't know that tree was called Golden Chain. It's beautiful!

Loving your vintage bicycles- so charming! I have one that is black- thinking I should paint it! Thanks for sharing at FNF :)

Gorgeous, I like your creative ideas! I did that to our old wheel barrow but hubby did not like it as it was huge.

Yellow Lily, have a great week!

I LOVE this kind of treatment of vintage bicycles. My son has been storing his Schwinn here for years and I'm so tempted to turn it into a garden, but alas it's far too expensive for such a treatment even though it would certainly get a lot more use this way. ;-)

What a great post. You've got me wishing for an old bike to plant now. I know just where to find one!
