Work materials, glass bottle, wooden board, diverted objects … you will be surprised to see what it is possible to do for a garden out of the ordinary.
A decoration with wooden planks
Easy to recover the wooden board can be useful in different ways.
Take the wood from a pallet and cut it to the size necessary for your project.
For a beautiful colorful border, cut your wooden boards into a small rectangle and paint them in the colors of your garden.
With longer or wider planks, you can use it to delimit your spaces by drawing a path. Both decorative and practical, this wooden path avoid stepping into mud on rainy days.
Separate plants with tires
Reuse an old tire to mark out a flower space. An original idea and recuperated!
Repainted with a trendy color, we will forget its original use.
You can also stack the tires in a pyramid or in a circle for an atypical restanque effect.
Hijack an everyday object
A creative idea is to divert an object from its primary use. In the garden, nature sometimes takes charge of colonizing abandoned objects. Why not take inspiration from it? Any object that can contain a little soil is suitable for diversion. A wheelbarrow, a bowl, an old milk jug … imagination is your only limit. Something to add extra soul to your garden!
Create a design decoration with concrete blocks
Have you done any work in your house and you have concrete blocks left? Why not use them for the garden? They will be an excellent support for a design and cubic decor. Painted or raw, let your creativity speak to build a concrete block border worthy of a tetris.
A terracotta boundary
Collect your broken terracotta pots for a terracotta garden border.
Create your vegetable garden with pallets
The palette is the material of choice for all DIY enthusiasts. There are a thousand and one ideas to divert its original use, especially in the garden.
You can especially use it to define your plants in the layout of your vegetable patch.
Placed on the ground or at height, the pallets are hyper-modular. You can easily add labels to keep the name of your seedlings or use it as storage for your tools.

Bring transparency with glass bottles
Rather than throwing your glass bottles in the trash, make a pretty garden border. Depending on their color, they will bring transparency and light effects between your beds.
Fantasy with old tiles
Have you renovated the roof of your house? Keep the old tiles to make original boundaries around a bed or plants.
If you like water points, start making a fountain. A good idea that will bring serenity and freshness to your green space.
An iodized touch in your garden
To replace the classic stone border, think of the shells collected on the beach. They will give a dreamlike touch to your garden
Wooden logs
After pruning your trees, keep the branches thick and cut them into logs. They will perfect your boundaries.
In logs or in slices, the wooden log will give your corner of greenery a touch of romantic magic.
Pebble pebbles
To replace coarse stones, prefer the use of pebbles naturally polished by the sea. They will make a perfect delimitation for your lawn or your terrace.
Vintage plates
Among the most original and recovered ideas, there is the diversion of chipped plates. Planted in the ground to separate your lawn from your beds, they will bring a little fantasy to your garden.
