After only a few hours of steady work, an incredible mosaic image emerges, thus making it an immensely satisfying activity that appeals to youth and adults alike. The mosaic making process is both a leisurely activity as well as productive endeavor. The design of the mosaic can be simply decorative or it can depict natural elements such as the very plants and insects that are found in the garden. You can mosaic most anything in a garden – flowerpots and containers, paths and walkways, benches and tables, walls and fences, water fountains, and garden tools such as trowel handles and wheelbarrows. Making an outdoor mosaic is also a great way to personalize a garden space and give it a unique look and feel. Natural materials such as shells, stalks, and leaves found in the garden also work well for certain mosaic projects as long as they have been protected for exterior use. Pictures or designs made up of pieces of smaller materials, mosaics can be made with pretty much anything – new, old, recycled, or found materials such as tiles, beads, buttons, glass, and mirrors. Mosaics are a great way to introduce more color into a garden, especially when plants stop flowering throughout the winter months. Adapt these activities to the age, interest, and skill levels of your group.
