Whenever I go thrifting, I always look for things I can use in the garden. Plants need support, cottage gardens need vintage decor, the eye needs a place to rest in good garden design, and I love a pretty flea market flip to use as planters.

So here are 5 simple tips to thrift like a boss for your garden.

[{"selector":"#anim-6f16db4c-d468-4a6a-8e52-14621b777166 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Shop around. Do a quick buzz around the shop first to scope out the finds.

[{"selector":"#anim-ac79e905-354e-4a26-b927-73a1449d7cd7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(9.909909909909908%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Be patient and don't rush while you are perusing around. Often times, things aren't layed out in an organized way and you might miss something awesome!

[{"selector":"#anim-8d112c80-a289-45d9-a4aa-e978e42f0b82 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(9.909909909909908%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

When you see something you love, grab it. It may not be there if you walk away and come back to it.

[{"selector":"#anim-4c9d1b0c-4d8e-4a37-851e-61795931d8da [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Keep a budget in mind while shopping.

And know when to stop shopping too. It’s easier to choose to stop shopping than to feel that twinge of regret when you keep shopping, find more things you love, but can’t buy them because it blows the budget.
