Trash To Treasure Garden Ideas That Will Transform Your Yard

By Linda Ruiz


If you are someone that spends a lot of time in their garden making things look beautiful then you are going to love these unique ideas. Many people would never even think of trash to treasure garden ideas. When I mean when I say trash to treasure is that you can use things that you would normally throw away to make your garden unique and beautiful.

If you happen to have a car tire just lying around that you will never use again, well now you can use it again. You can plant your favorite flowers in it. Most people would think that having a tire in their garden would be tacky looking but it really is beautiful. If you happen to have three or more tires you can even stack them in a pyramid and plant in each one of them. You will be surprised at just how amazing it turns out when you are done.

Watering cans are also a great way to improve your garden. Plant something pretty in an old tin watering can and watch how it grows into something beautiful. The plant will even start to grow out of the spout of the watering can. If you have an old bike around that is either broke or doesn't get used you can use it for your plants. You can use the entire bike or just the wheels off of it.

When using a bike you should consider planting something that has vines like an ivy plant. You just put the old bike in the middle and the vines will grow up the bike and wrap around the different parts of the bike. You should try to find an old bike that is rustic looking instead of using a new one because it looks much better. Your friends will be green with envy when they see the different things you have done with all your old items.

When trying to come up with unique ideas just look around at the things you have lying around your house or garage that you do not use anymore and try to vision what it would look like in your garden with plants growing in or around it. You could even use kitchen items like an old tea kettle to plant something in.

If you have a lot of old rain boots that you no longer use then use them to plant things in. They are adorable when you have plants growing out of them and if you use different colored ones it is even more adorable. An old ceramic bathtub or old mailbox also make great additions to any garden.

Old ceramic pots that you no longer use are also a great item to use. You really want to use old items and not anything new. The idea is to transform trash into treasures. You can even paint some of these items to make them even more appealing.

You probably have a lot of stuff in your house that you could use to plant in and you probably don't even realize it. Before you throw something out, look at it and think how it would look with a plant or flower in it.
