A house does not exist without trinkets, pictures, trinkets, without nice, personal touches - the same is with the garden.
Recycled garden decorations: ladder cart and wheelbarrow
Sheds, attics, neighbors' barns can be a mine of rural garden decorations. Old wheelbarrows are perfect, in which you can put pots with geraniums or fill them with soil and plant flowers. A wagon, wooden wheels, a seeder or a plow exposed on the lawn in front of the house will look great.
By the way, they will emphasize the country style of your garden. Never throw away old buckets or tubs. It's nothing that they're bent. Just clean them, paint them and they will perfectly replace mass-produced pots, the ones you will see in every neighbor.
On the wall of the house, under the roof, you can hang an unnecessary wooden cupboard with warped doors - such wooden decorations for the garden are very fashionable. The perfect decoration of the gazebo will be a bicycle decorated with flowers. It is worth painting it beforehand, including the spokes and the saddle. See how great it will look in one color, e.g. white. A funny idea is flowers planted in a cast-iron tub or in a toilet that is no longer needed.
Garden pots made of tires? Why not!
You have a lot of scope here. Use old shoes. Planted with lobelias and placed at the entrance to the house, they will look great. Wellingtons, especially colorful and patterned ones, will look great as pots. Nail them to the fence and plant them with various flowers.
In accordance with the principle of zero worth, use up old tires from the car. How we can make a flower bed from a tyres? You can paint them and there are plenty of ideas for compositions - put them next to each other or group them in groups of three, you can also hang them on the wall, on a thick jute rope. Fill them with soil and plant vines. You can make garden decorations from a hollow tree trunk, a wicker basket or even from wine or beer bottles. You put them bottoms out in a circle, and in the middle you put soil. By making decorations for the garden from recycling, you save the planet.
Feeders and waterers for birds - useful garden decorations
Everyone dreams of listening to birds singing in their own garden and observing new species with an atlas in their hands. How to invite pets? First, provide them with drinking water. You can place ceramic plates with a wide rim in various places in the garden, so that your winged friend can comfortably sit on it. The colorful dishes look like flowers!
You can buy beautiful metal or ceramic birdbaths , often decorated with bird figurines. In our store you will also find decorative bird feeders (Wildlife Garden). They are so colorful that they will add charm to any garden. You can also make a house or a feeder yourself, for example from a broken teapot or cups.
Climate bells and a windmill for the garden
A stronger gust of wind and a ringing sound can be heard - delicate glass against glass or stronger metal, a completely different sound is made by bamboo. If you like a ringing garden, hang ornaments that dance in the wind. The Chinese and Japanese believe that such sounds are feng shui and have a very soothing effect on the soul.
You can buy a ready-made, e.g. cast-iron bell or make the bells yourself. On the strings hang, for example, shells brought from holidays. Just drill through them. Unnecessary spoons or small cans of tomato paste will fulfill this role.
Such metal garden ornaments are very fashionable. Of course, they need to be painted. You can use fluorescent paint - they will not only ring but also shine. On the flowerbeds, moving elements such as windmills or flowers rotating in the wind will look nice.
Small garden fountains
Feel the light breeze in your garden and enjoy the splash of water. Find a suitable place, but one with access to electricity - maybe out of the way, among bushes, sheltered from the sun by tree branches and set up a fountain. Choose a small, self-assembly. You fold it according to the instructions, pour water and you're done.
Water will circulate in a closed circuit, but when it's hot, it needs to be replenished from time to time. The style of such tiny fountains is various - from bowls set on different levels, through balls on which water flows, buckets or concrete figures of frogs "spitting" water are fashionable.
Amazing garden decoration ideas: mirror
Mirrors in the garden will introduce the effect of surprise, variety, because not everything has to be obvious, like a lawn planted with thujas. How to integrate mirrors into greenery? The simplest idea - place the table and chair close to the wall or fence so that there is room to hang the mirror. Under it, place a pot with flowers that will reflect beautifully. If there is a heavily shaded corner in your garden, mirrors will add light.
On the other hand, the water mirror in the garden, located on the lawn, is deceptively similar to a pond, only clouds are reflected in it instead of water. Mirror or steel, polished pots also look interesting - the plants give the impression of levitating.
Paint your garden decorations out of stones
You can make such decorations for the garden with your own hands with your children. They are simple and very effective, and you can have a lot of fun at the same time. You don't need to have great artistic skills to create a ladybug or a bee. You need black and red or yellow acrylic paint, outdoor clearcoat, school brushes and washed, dry stones.
