Interesting ways to decorate your garden
 |
Beyond the usual planters and gnomes, there are some interesting ways to add personality and pizazz to your garden:
Vertical gardens: Transform a wall, fence, or shed into a living work of art with a vertical garden. Use hanging pockets, recycled materials like gutters, or special planter systems to cultivate lush greenery or cascading flowers.
 |
Upcycled delights: Give old items a new lease on life in the garden! Repurpose a vintage bathtub or watering can into a planter, string old teacups together for a quirky bird feeder, or use an old bicycle frame as a trellis for climbing plants.
 |
Fairy tale touches: Create a whimsical atmosphere with miniature houses, stepping stones, or furniture sized for fairies. Tuck them amongst leafy greens or hide them under blooming flowers for a delightful surprise. Fairy Toadstool: perfect dwelling for fairies & pixies.
 |
The magic of mirrors: Strategically placed mirrors can add depth and dimension to a small garden, creating the illusion of more space. They can also reflect interesting features like a water feature or a sculpture.
 |
Edible artistry: Plant vegetables, herbs, and flowers in decorative patterns or shapes. Create a vegetable patch that resembles a butterfly, or spell out a message with colourful blooms.
 |
Light up the night: Go beyond the basic solar lights. String fairy lights in unexpected places, hang colorful lanterns, or use solar-powered spotlights to create dramatic focal points. Glow-in-the-dark pebbles can add a whimsical touch.
 |
A touch of whimsy: Let your creativity loose! Hang wind chimes made from seashells or recycled materials, create a bird bath out of a colourful mosaic, or scatter painted rocks with inspirational messages throughout the garden.
 |
Natural wonders: Embrace the beauty of nature's cast-offs. Arrange interesting driftwood pieces as a sculpture, create a pathway edged with smooth stones, or hang a wind chime made from seashells.
 |
A haven for wildlife: Encourage beneficial creatures to visit your garden by incorporating a bug hotel, a bird feeder made from a natural material like a gourd, or a shallow water feature for birds and butterflies.

Fire and ambiance: Create a cozy and inviting atmosphere with a fire pit or chiminea. Roast marshmallows under the stars, enjoy the warmth on a cool evening, or simply use it as a focal point for nighttime gatherings.
