Interesting ideas for creating original flower beds with your own hands

A flower bed from an old container

Growing flowers in old containers is the easiest and most affordable way to arrange flower beds. Such design ideas have many advantages: flower beds can be made with your own hands from various materials at hand, old and unnecessary household items, they are easy to create and very mobile. These original flower beds can be installed anywhere: in the country, in the garden, on the balcony, and, if necessary, moved wherever you want.

Container beds are mini-compositions of flowers planted in a variety of containers and shapes that are not intended for gardening. There are many options for turning the material at hand into an original design element from flowers:

• for arranging a large flower bed, it is possible to use such an improvised material: boxes from furniture, troughs, basins, old baths, carts - an original reservoir can be equipped from a cast-iron bath in the country house;
• a small flower garden can be made from any available means: cans, cups, pots, jugs, unnecessary kitchen items;
• hanging flower beds are made from the following materials at hand: wicker baskets, old women's bags, leaky buckets, watering cans.

The ideas for creating container beds are endless. Making any of them with your own hands is quite simple. You need to place drainage at the bottom of the container, then pour the earth for planting flowers, and that's it - you can enjoy a mobile garden.

Plywood flower bed

The remains of plywood sheets can be found original and useful in the country. Each person can easily make a flower bed made of plywood with their own hands - the embodiment of such an idea requires a minimum investment of time and effort. Below are two of the most interesting design options for flower beds.

Flowerbed umbrella

Of course, you can use a real umbrella for a flower garden, but made of plywood it will be more durable, and in addition, it can be painted in different colors. To make a flower garden, you will need a little improvised means:

• 9 thin wooden spokes;
• 10 plywood triangles of the same height as the knitting needles;
• 1 long block for the umbrella handle;
• nails, screws.

Further, the umbrella is assembled by connecting triangles and "spokes" with nails or self-tapping screws. The finished structure is installed with the sharp end down, slightly deepening into the ground (if desired, the flower garden can be tilted a little), and fixed for stability. Drainage is laid at the bottom, soil is poured, and flowers are planted.

Flowerbed-palette

Implementing this idea with your own hands is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. To make a flower garden you need:

• a sheet of not very thin plywood;
• several bars as legs;
• hand cutter;
• varnish or paint.

First you need to decide on the size of the palette, and then draw a blank on the plywood.Then, using a cutter, cut 8 holes: the central one for brushes, and 7 in a circle for paints (as in the real palette). Set the flower bed on supports - legs or bricks, varnish. Insert pots with bright colors into the holes.

How to make a wooden flower bed for a flower garden

Flowerbeds made of wood in a country house or a personal plot are the embodiment of the style and good taste of the owners. Wooden flower beds are very popular due to their environmental friendliness, rich texture of natural wood and a variety of design options. In addition, no other material can create such a unique warm atmosphere in the garden as natural wood.

It will not be difficult to create original flower beds from wood with your own hands. A wooden flower bed, as a rule, is an unusual flower fence made of natural wood. For the manufacture of such a flower garden, you can use the remains of any wood: rods, beams, pegs, boards, logs. The ideas for creating wooden flower beds are varied:

1. Mini picket fence. This is a fence made of vertical planks attached to horizontal beams. For a flower garden in the country, such a miniature fence can be made from boards of different lengths and shapes - this will add originality to the flower bed.
2. Palisade. This is a low hedge made of pegs, hammered into the ground tightly to each other. Thin stakes can be fastened with a crossbar.
3. Wattle. This is the most original type of hedge made of long flexible tree branches. The wattle can be of any size and shape - it all depends on the location and the wishes of the owners. The wattle fence is an integral element of landscape design and a fairly functional fence. With its help, you can not only designate the boundaries of the flower bed, but also decorate an unattractive area in the country, fence off the recreation area. It should be noted that the implementation of such an idea with your own hands requires certain skills and time.
4. A fence made of wooden blocks (small logs). To make this fence, you must first cut the logs into small pieces to the height of the fence, given that it will take about 20 cm to sink into the ground. Then you need to determine the boundaries of the future flower bed and remove the sod in this place (a shallow groove should form). Further, on fresh soil, you need to tightly install the blockhouses, sprinkle the lower part with earth and tamp well.

These are the basic and easiest to manufacture types of fences for wooden flower beds. On their basis, you can develop various ideas and variations, for example, you can weave a flower bed in the form of a basket from twigs, make a mini-front garden in the form of a well, a hut from beams.

Interesting options from car parts

A flower bed from a car is one of the most original and creative ideas for creating landscape design in the country. Of course, you can create such a flower bed with your own hands only if you have an old, long-unused vehicle.

First you need to decide on the location of the flower bed. In the center of a green lawn (lawn), a car of flowers will create a bright accent and be clearly visible. Next, you need to remove all the insides from the car: the engine, seats and other parts. Then you need to decide where the flowers will be planted, and fill these places with soil. Before filling the car with earth, lay a layer of expanded clay, cobblestones, or other improvised means on the bottom, cover everything with a film in which to make small holes - this will help prevent premature rotting of the body.

The preparatory stage is over, and you can start decorating. For planting flowers, both the entire car and its individual parts are used. There are several options for the location of plants:

1. Under the hood.This option is interesting in that it allows you to create the illusion of a mobile flower bed - it seems that you can leave by car, taking a real garden with you. Optionally, the hood can be removed, or you can leave it as a cover for flowers from rain and scorching sun.
2. In the trunk. In this case, it is better to get rid of the trunk lid. An interesting option is the arrangement of plants in the back of a mini-truck. It will give the impression that he is carrying a blooming garden. Before laying drainage and soil, holes must be made in the bottom of the trunk so that air and moisture can circulate freely in the soil.
3. When using the entire car under a flower bed, you need to think about reliable ground support - otherwise, this floral masterpiece will quickly creep. Alternatively, you can plant climbing plants on horizontal surfaces. Soon they will grow and braid the whole car.

Of course, these are not all car decorating ideas. If you show a little imagination, then you can add some bright accent to the flower bed: paint the car in a color contrasting with the plants, draw original drawings, paint the wheels.
