There’s something about labeling crops in your garden beds or pots. This can be done not only using ordinary board signs with labels but also in a more original way. For example, using clay labels with an imprinted inscription. Yes, you will have to tinker with their production, but such a garden (flower bed, box with seedlings) will look much more interesting.

Garden trellises

Help climbing plants by building garden trellises for them. You can place them on the outer walls of the house, allowing the bindweeds to do vertical gardening on their own. It won’t take long before you have a lush green living wall.

Garden bench-flower bed

Garden bench

Garden benches are not only a place to relax. Any bench can also be adapted for growing ornamental plants. You can cut special holes in it for containers or install the flower pots directly on the surface of the structure. However, in the second case, it is worth remembering that strong gusts of wind can knock over the pots.

Paint garden tools

Garden tools

Update your gardening tools so that all your tools look like they come from the same set. This is not at all difficult to do, for example, by painting all the handles in the same style. Or you can paint the metal parts of the equipment in bright colors. However, to do this, be careful when choosing paint so that it does not burst or peel off after several weeks of work in the garden.

Garden apron

Stay neat while gardening. An apron will help with this. There is another reason to buy or sew this accessory. You can keep the tools and seeds you need tucked into your belt or pockets. 

Flowerbeds made from painted building blocks
