Re-Do Your Landscape with Raised Garden Beds: 5 Ideas

Raised garden beds seem to be the new trend in gardening. But why is that? Well, because they are easy to put up, convenient to use, and they bring a certain uniqueness to your garden landscape. A raised garden bed helps you organize your garden by types of plants, which makes them easier to take care of and harvest. But even if they serve such a practical purpose, there is no reason why they can’t also be a piece of decoration for you to be proud of. Here are 5 ideas to turn your raised garden beds into real works of art.

Use an Old Dresser

Do you happen to have an old dresser that you never use anymore? Maybe it is taking up space in your garage for nothing. Why not put it to better use? Install it in your garden, open its drawers, fill them with soil, and start planting. We guarantee it will look gorgeous in your garden. Plus, you can bet that not many people have raised garden beds made up of old dressers.

Turn Wooden Pallets into Raised Garden Beds

Another idea that lets you repurpose old wooden pallets, or build a new one from scratch. You just have to fill them up with soil, plant whatever you want in them, and then lean them vertically against a wall. This is a really nice alternative to the horizontal raised garden beds that you usually see. As an extra tip, you could try plating multicolored flowers in the pallets, it will give your garden an amazing look.

Use a Bedframe to Make a Home for Climbing Vines
