For example, how about an old bicycle for decoration? You can put some supports to place pots in them and that these decorate the bicycle itself (nothing like using climbing plants so that, after a while, they cover the frame of the bicycle and look like a "natural" bike).

Therefore, containers, bottles, wheels ... can be used to decorate your garden in a very curious way and provide a style between modern and original in your garden. Are you going to find someone who thinks of using plastic bottles, painting them and using them as a flower pot? Or that the tires of the cars serve to house climbing plants or with flowers?

A garden with prominence in the water

Imagine a garden. It's empty and you start to cover the ground with a blanket of grass. On three of the walls that delimit the space, you place some plants, at different heights. And, in the center, a large water fountain, or a pond, filled with fish and other little animals. Can you imagine how exotic it can be?

It really is not difficult to consider having a charming garden of this type. Even though the space is small, you can put it in a corner of it, with vegetation around it as if you create some kind of water sanctuary. Over time it will take on a magical appearance.

A combined garden

What would you tell us if I told you to make a combined garden? Specifically, we are talking about making a garden in which stones and vegetation combine. For example, place a border of stones around the garden, delimiting it, as well as a path to walk through the garden. And, in the holes, put a lawn in one, a group of plants in another, a tree in another ...

In this way, what you do is create spaces in your garden and, depending on your mood, there would be an area to visit. If you also have enough space, what you can do is place a resting point (a chair, a bench…) in each of these areas to relax there.
