Lush Greenery

You can create a stunning bed with varieties of verdant green plants and bushes in your garden to enjoy stunning spring and summer views. You can add in a few flowering plants to help craft focal points and increase the space’s overall beauty.

Garden Walkway

When you add raised beds along the sides of the steps between higher and lower elevations in your space, it adds a nice touch and draws attention to the space’s flow. You can also plant taller flowers along the beds to help accentuate natural slopes.

Retaining Wall Flower Bed

Retaining walls are originally used to help prevent soil erosion, and create usable beds out of steep terrain. If you have a sloped backyard, you may already have a retaining wall in place. Make the best out of this necessary structure by converting the grassy area above the wall into a flower bed. You can turn a retaining wall in your outdoor space into a stunning focal point by planting some flowering plants on it.

Repurposed Tins

If you are in for an unconventional and inexpensive raised garden bed idea, you may have your settings from stuff you can easily lay your hands on around the house. Old tin tubs, buckets, and milk pails can easily be converted to large flower pots or raised flower beds. Before you fill the containers with soil, drill a few holes into the bottom of each one to ensure easy drainage and prevent diseases like root rot. You can also add a few eco-friendly garden pots to the collection.

Flowers in a Tree Stump

You can create a fun and exciting look in your flower bed and yard by planting flowers into an old tree stump. You can create notches or hollow out the inside of the stump works as the perfect natural planter. The beautiful scenes created when the mature flowers start spilling over the wood are always very exciting!

Create a Favorite Shape with Flowers

You can arrange your flower beds to create a shape that you love in your garden. Shapes like hearts, stars and even logos for a personal business are popular options. These shapes can be arranged at the center of decorative shrubs or grasses or highlighted further by turning the entire flower bed into whichever shape you choose.
