The Many Trash To Treasure Garden Ideas You Can Use

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.

Old car tires are a great way to turn your trash into a treasure. Just use an old tire and plant something beautiful in it. You can even use several tires if you have them and stack them however you want and plant something in each one. You will be surprised at just how gorgeous a tire can make a plant or flower planted in it look amazing.

You can also plant flowers or plants in an old watering can. If you have an old beat up looking tin watering can just fill it with your favorite plant and see how beautiful it turns out. When the plant starts to grow it will even grow out of the spout too and it looks so amazing. You can also use an old bicycle. You can either use the whole bike or just the wheels off the bike.

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 you are looking for unique items to use in your garden just look around your home, garage and shed. You are bound to find things that you haven't used in many years. Just use your imagination to get an idea of what it would look like with plants growing out of it. Kitchen items are also a great place to look for old items to use like a tea kettle.

Old rain boots make great planters for any type of plant or flower. If you have several different ones that are in different colors you should use them because the different colors will look great. An old mailbox or ceramic bathtub is also a great place to plant flowers.

An old ceramic pot from your kitchen also looks beautiful with a plant in it. You don't want to use new items the whole idea is to use things that would normally be trash, and you just use it for something else instead of throwing it out. You can also paint some of these items to make them more appealing.

You probably have many items in your home that could be used in your garden and you probably do not even realize it. Take time to look around your home for items that could be used. When you are going through your house getting rid of old items, before you throw something out consider whether or not it would look good with a plant in it.
