1. Some flowers winter in the apartment and only in the summer "move" to the country. It is not necessary to plant them in open ground. Leave the flowers right in the box so that when autumn comes, you can simply transfer them back to the house.
2. The plant box can be used as a flower bed for vertical gardening. Succulents or any hanging (hanging) plants will feel great here. You can hang the box on a fence, the wall of the house or any vertical surface.
3. Small boxes left over from old bedside tables, tables, chests of drawers and so on can be beautifully arranged in a summer cottage by organizing a small flower bed. The boxes themselves and the handles on them may differ in shape, size, color, style. In this case, flowers are able to harmoniously combine all these things.
4. The seat upholstery of an old chair can be replaced with a new one. Or you can instead take out the springs and excess fabric and plant flowers. Naturally, the chair will lose its main purpose, but it will delight others with fresh greenery.
5. Sometimes even such an unnecessary thing as old shoes can be useful. You can plant flowers there, and then hang your shoes by laces or special eyelets. The older the shoes, the better, because water will not stagnate in leaky "flowerbeds"!
6. An old metal cage that was lying around in the attic can be a great flower bed for your site. Plant flowers there that will beautifully descend between the thin rods of the cage. Hang such a cage from the ceiling of the gazebo or from a tree branch.
7. Another interesting option for a mini-flower bed is a small garden right in a glass bottle! This unusual use of wine bottles will no doubt wow your garden guests. The main thing - do not cut yourself, separating the glass bottom.
8. A small but extremely useful flower bed can be made from a piece of old burlap. Attach a small string to your bag and hang it on a nail next to your outdoor table. In such a flower bed, you can grow not only flowers, but also fragrant herbs, which are convenient to add from the "bed" directly to tea.
9. It is possible to adapt to a flower bed such objects that lie directly under the open sky. For example, a log of a long-cut tree. Cut a small indentation along the entire length of the trunk and plant your favorite flowers there.
10. If there is a stump left from a cut down tree that you did not dare to uproot, you can make an excellent flower bed on it! Use wire to attach plant pots to the tree. Try to choose flowers with beautiful falling shoots that will decorate the pots.
11. There are many old pipes in every dacha. Take pipes of different heights (or cut them yourself into the desired lengths) and arrange them as you wish.
12. This flower path is like a river of milk that has poured out of a can! In creating such a flower bed, the main thing is a plain green background.
13. An old shabby bath is the place in the country! It can be used not only as a water tank for watering plants, but also as a real flower bed!
14. It is not necessary to throw out the cart if it is already out of order. It can be painted, filled with flowers and placed in the most beautiful place in your garden!
15. If an old bicycle is no longer a means of transportation, make it the highlight of your garden! Paint in a bright color, and put a box of flowers in place of the trunk.
16. This is no longer just a flower bed, but a whole composition! Experiment with different old tools by adding them to the colors. You will be surprised how harmoniously they fit into this picture.
17. Even an old boat can be converted into a flower bed. A little fresh paint and vibrant flowers will make it look great on your yard.
18. Old huge stone vases will look great as a flower bed. And if the history of your site is not so ancient, instead of a stone vase, take a large clay pot that has lain in the open for several seasons.
19. A mailbox in the country is unlikely to be useful to you, but do not rush to remove it. Such a box is able to decorate any gate!
20. This bed is not just a flower bed, but a real flower garden. And together with a chest of drawers and a mosaic floor, they form a whole floral interior! Do not limit your imagination, and your garden will become a real work of art!
