I can’t even handle how gorgeous this looks. I have a thing for yellow flowers, so that might have helped with this flower garden, but still, the idea is really fun and innovative for your yard. You could even have some personalized pots to make it more your style.

Repurposed Tires

If you have spare tires that are no longer proper for being used in your car, this idea will be perfect. Just get them painted and put them in your yard! Doesn’t it look super fun? And those fake chickens just make the whole thing complete.

Water Feature

Does your garden have a tree stump or a tree log just lying around waiting to be thrown away?

Well, don’t get rid of it just yet!

It can make a gorgeous piece of decoration for your flower garden! Just hollow it out and fill it with mulch and your favorite flowers!

Keep it Simple

Even though the style is simple, the garden is gorgeous.

You don’t need to go super crazy when planning your flower garden (although there are some pretty amazing ideas out there), you can go with something simpler and just as beautiful. Like the photo above shows, create a space on your lawn to put your flowers and enjoy the beauty of keeping it simple.

Tip: you could also try edging your flower garden with concrete, or even with some potted plants.
