Will a commode planted with flowers overflowing the bowl sound downright fanciful?



There are no rules to follow . . . that is the best part of using your wild imagination in turning your trash into garden treasures.  But of course, there are some guidelines that we must consider like its sturdiness, its ability to withstand all kinds of weather, and safety among others.

With your creativity, artistic inclination and being bold will not stop you from creating items unexpected to stand in your garden majestically and with pride.

Have you ever thought of these following daring ideas to be in your garden and catching surprise glimpse and awes?


Old Bed Frame 

You can paint it with bright or pastel colors.  You  may cut its leg to have it sit closer to the ground or you may opt not to cut the legs. Then fill where the mattress would be with gardening soil and plant with abundance of flowers.  The flower blooms will make the bed appear dressed in its best spread. An antique iron headboard can be used to plant petunias.  A “bed” of flowers can be a focal point in the garden.




Old Carriage




Old Toilet

You can also paint it with attractive colors such as lavender, pink, red or what ever color that may contrast or complement the flowers that will be planted in it.  You can paint it with some artistic designs.  Flowers will be happy to sit on this repurposed seat.




Old Boat








Just looking around your house, community, or even at the dumpsters will give you countless ideas that some people may not imagine to re-purpose
