We arrived to Northern California this last week and had some sunshine! Off to Moonstone Beach to play! We decided to make a Shell Garden.
What is a shell garden you ask?
Scour the beach with the kiddos and find as many shells as possible. {Broken shells are just fine.}
Flatten your sand for a garden, make rows and “plant” your shells. 30 minutes of Fun Fun Fun!
What do you like to do at the beach?
Do you have a Wordless Wednesday post? Link up below!
So did you sprout any baby shells. I wish I lived near a beach because if I did, I’d have a lot of answers about what to do at one.
Nothing grew unfortunately 😉 I was hoping for a whole sand dollar. But no such luck…
Everything! Love the beach!
Looks like lots of fun was had!!
Happy WW
Love your garden! 🙂
I like to go for an early morning stroll, maybe catch the sunrise.
I would too! Hopefully soon. One kid is sick and the other is teething this week 🙁
Great shots! Oh how interesting to make a shell garden. Thanks for hosting.
Well, my Princess loves to make a “garden” on my back and we have also pretended to have a garden in our pool. So making a “garden” in the sand was normal for her. I just told her let’s walk the beach and pick up every shell we see and “plant” them in your garden. She loved it 🙂
Those photos are great. Making me miss the ocean big time.
I love that so much! Next time we go to the beach totally doing it! Great idea.
that is such a cute idea!!!!
Thank you for hosting a linky, I have one as well, if you’d like to stop by, and there is also a link for a giveaway link-up 😉

Cute! But did you find any moonstones?
Mistress Mary, Quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With Silver Bells, And Cockle Shells,
And so my garden grows.
What a fun project. Our mom is from Northern California but never heard of Moonstone Beach. Where is it? Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
Moonstone Beach is in McKinleyville. North or Arcata. Very beautiful beach!
Love that shell garden! Such a cutie too. 🙂
Such a fun idea!
Love the idea! How creative!
so beautiful 🙂
The next time I am at the beach I am definitely making a shell garden! x
We really had fun making it Charlotte. A fun activity with kids!
Fun post and neat photos ^_^
This is such a fun idea! I wish I had thought of doing this when my girls were a little younger–they grow so fast!
That’s a fun idea. Never thought of that. We’ve moved away from beaches so I’m not sure we’ll have a shell garden any time soon.
That’s really neat!
Ahh a day at the beach, what fun she had planting, maybe a future gardener!! Have a great day!
I feel the need for a beach day!
I love your ‘garden’. Mary, Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow? With silver bells and conkel shells and pretty maids all in a row. 🙂
Inviting you to drop by and share your post at my Linky if you are interested. 🙂
That’s a great garden! I wish we had sand instead or snow!
Awww…I kinda want a shell garden now! Looks like she had a lot of fun!
Oh how fun!!! I love that idea and will be doing that this summer when we visit the beach! 🙂
