I think it's cute, it just makes me think the children are grown up & gone away, but you are left with their shoes... but you can still imagine them small- playing & laughing. I like it!
This looks a bit eerie, but I'd say it could be quite lovely! That's an interesting idea. It would be fun to put a child's shoes along the way and show the growth. Magic! God bless.
I agree with others when I think it's cute and eerie. I have seen pics of trees festooned with shoes. Whatever the reason for leaving them I am sure there are dozens of untold stories there. Happy WW
A little of each. Some of those shoes would be cute as real planters, but the way they're scattered is a bit eerie, too. Thanks for visiting The Right Blue
Hi JIMG, yes, a little scary. Not the garden but the gardener! Are there bodies buried somewhere of the poor souls who were once walking on those souls? One nice thing, it will be easy to change the theme. (Be sure to pick up your shoes.)
I guess I wouldn't say cute or eerie. I'm sure it looks much nicer in season. I have one pair of my husband's old work boots filled with Hen and Chicks. I've thought about putting plants in cowboy boots.

I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It’s like this… When you’re going to have a baby, it’s like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It’s all very exciting. After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, “Welcome To Holland”. “Holland?!?” you say, “What do you mean “Holland”??? I signed up for Italy! I’m supposed to be in Italy. All my life I’ve dreamed of going to Italy” But there’s been a change in the flight plan. They’ve landed in Holland and there you must stay. The important thing is that they haven’t taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It’s just a different place. So you must go and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met. It’s just a different place. It’s slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you’ve been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around…and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills…Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts. But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy…and they’re all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say “Yes that’s where I was supposed to go. That’s what I had planned”. And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away…because the loss of that dream is a very significant loss. But…if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn’t get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things…about Holland.

I'd say it's a bit odd! hehe Unique tho, I guess... =)
Both....cute and eerie. I can say both, right? LOL This is quite clever tho, if you want my opinion.
that's a little creepy to me.... creative, but creepy! :)
Haha. Kind of eerie, I think. More melancholy than eerie, though. Neat idea.
Very creative pictures, no doubt about that. Great post.
Thanks for dropping by, have a great WW!
My post: Clowns in stripes
Creepy.
I don't like it. It reminds me of the holocaust memorial in Washington D.C. with all the shoes. :o(
I'm gonna vote for creepy. Especially the little kid shoes.
happy creepy wednesday!
Well there are a lot of questions and stories spinning around in my head...
This is kind of weird...
It's a little eery to me!
I think it's cute, it just makes me think the children are grown up & gone away, but you are left with their shoes... but you can still imagine them small- playing & laughing. I like it!
My instinct is eerie, but I would love to hear the story behind it.
It's a little bit of both I think. But I appreciate the idea of reusing things rather than throwing them away!
first i thought it was cute....but when i saw the baby shoes...i say it's eerie!
thanks for visiting! happy WW for me it's now Thursday...hehehe
The little shoes are cute but seeing them all strewn about is a little eerie! Thanks for visiting my blog.
LOL! A little of both perhaps : D Great set!
Odd. Kind of funny. I had no idea that you could grow shoes in the garden. Bet that saves a lot of money.
This looks a bit eerie, but I'd say it could be quite lovely! That's an interesting idea. It would be fun to put a child's shoes along the way and show the growth. Magic! God bless.

I think I find it woo eerie to be cute. I think its just the little shoes that freak me out, lol.
Happy WW
That's a first for me. Something you DON'T see everyday. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I like it! There was a garden back home that was made of toilets - trust me, this shoe garden is beautiful not eerie (which the toilet garden was).
Whose idea is this? Heheh.

A little of each. Some of those shoes would be cute as real planters, but the way they're scattered is a bit eerie, too. Thanks for visiting The Right Blue
Quite interesting and very creepy.
Thanks for dropping by!

Thanks for the nice visit, and Happy WW! :-)
..
Wow! I've never heard of that....a bit eerie, and creepy. Great shots!
Most definately cool! Love it!
Both! The adult ones are cool, the kids' ones are a little creepy to me.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
Happy WW!!
Different! That's for sure. lol And very creative, too. I like the idea of the shoes growing in the garden best. That would save a TON of money! lol
Thanks for stopping by, and happy WW!
Hmmm... I dunno. Reminds me of my grandmother. She had old boots on her porch with Chicks'n'hens growing in them...
creepy... yup...
I'm gonna have to say eerie!
That is very strange! It seems so wrong!
It looks eerie to the over imaginative minds. :D
I think it is perfect for some creative writing adventure and mystery.

I think it is eerie looking now, but would be cute with a nice spring garden!
Where's the FEET!?!?! WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM!?!?!
I especially liked the very last photo! Great pictures!
i like it. not eerie for me. i love walking in places like this
very unique -
I guess I wouldn't say cute or eerie. I'm sure it looks much nicer in season. I have one pair of my husband's old work boots filled with Hen and Chicks. I've thought about putting plants in cowboy boots.
I think it is quite creepy, although the idea of the shoes "growing up." would be pretty cute, I think. As it is...creepy.
I'm going with creepy. Where did the owners of the shoes go?
