1. Add More Depth to Your Garden
You can’t always change the square footage of your garden display. A good way to make your garden appear to be bigger is to add mirrors. You can make them look nice by turning vintage windows into mirrors.
The reflection from the mirrors will make it look like your garden is never-ending. It can help to add extra dimension and depth to your already abundant garden.
2. A Pallet Flower Display
You can add life to a boring backyard corner by turning an unused pallet into a flower display. You could paint the pallet a bright color or leave it with a wood stain for a natural feel. All you need is a bunch of potted plants to turn a pallet into a cute flower display.
A pallet display can be changed depending on the season. Start in the spring by using it for flowers and then in the fall time you can switch to cute pumpkins and other fall decorations. This is a universal decoration that can be constantly updated depending on your taste.
3. Wine Bottle Bird Feeder
Gardens usually attract a lot of wildlife and if your garden is attracting birds then you might want to add a bird feeder as decoration and to feed them. Using a wine bottle you can make a cute and fun bird feeder.
You would start by using wood to make the holder for your bird feeder. A cute idea is to make it look like a birdhouse. Then fill your wine bottle full of bird seed and flip it over letting it spill out so the birds can stop by and nibble on it.
Having birds attracted to your garden will really bring another element to it. You can also sit and watch the birds in your spare time.
4. Recycle Vintage Items
You may have some vintage tins laying around or you may be able to find some at a thrift store. But either way, vintage tins are a great way to pot any and all types of plants for your garden.
Other great planters could be old milk cans, chicken feeders, or galvanized mop buckets. Another place to look for vintage items is Etsy or eBay.
It is a unique way to display your plants and will give your garden a very rustic vibe. They would look especially good on your porch so your guests will see them as they arrive.
5. Light Up Your Garden
A string of rope lights around the edge of your garden can brighten up the area in no time. All you need is garden staples to hold the lights down and this easy DIY project can give you a beautifully lit pathway to your garden.
6. Personalize Your Plants
You can make a DIY planter in the shape or your first or last initial. All you need is some wood and a compound miter saw. The project is only as difficult as the letter you choose.
This planter could hold blooming flowers, succulents or you can even use it to start your own herb garden. If you don’t want to worry about watering the plants in your planter you could consider getting fake plants to put inside. They will look good all year round!
This would be a great addition to your garden and give it a personalized feel.
7. Wooden Pathway to Your Garden
A great way to give your garden a rustic vibe is to add a reclaimed wood pathway. You can get this wood easily from an old pallet.
The pathway could lead to your garden, link two areas of your backyard together or even add a little bit of character to a boring corner in your garden. This pathway is an easy DIY to make your garden unique.
