To transform a garden or terrace it is not always necessary to have a lot of money. A small initial investment will allow you to buy the essentials: some trees and bushes to achieve the desired green blanket, certain essential work tools, and a handful of pots of different sizes.
If it is to improve your appearance, you do not need to hire a professional landscaper as there are solutions and ideas at your fingertips that you can implement almost without spending money. If you have an outdoor space with walls that you want to cover in green, you can opt for a climbing plant, although only time will allow it to grow and cover the walls.
In order not to wait so long, it is possible to build natural shelves using wooden drawers recycled. Get two or three crates of fruit or vegetables in good condition. Once in your hands you can hang them directly or choose the most difficult path and put several of them together to join them with nails and form a larger shelf. The ideal is to keep the wood in its natural state so that your shelf looks that vintage style that is so beautiful in the outdoors. In that case, you will have to apply a varnish to the wood to protect it from the elements.
Once you shelving it's ready, buy some small pots and plant in them flowers, cacti or plants that you like. Be careful that they are specimens that do not grow too large. If you want, you can decorate the pots with colored acrylics to make them more fun.
When you finish these jobs, all that remains is to hang up the wall shelves. If the wall is large you can place several so that the environment is increasingly green. If you do not have walls, you can simply choose a wooden box in good condition and sand it to place it on the ground and house pots with flowers there. It is a detail that perfectly decorates any garden or terrace.
