1. A garden on wheels

This little trailer is planted with bright annual herbaceous plants, which is very interesting, but it is best to have drainage holes. The plants chosen here include: marigolds (orange), lobelia (blue), variegated ivy, dwarf sunflowers and dwarf petunias.

2. Woodland flower pots

In early spring, holes are drilled into the wooden posts, including drainage holes, and some pansies are planted in the middle. In the lush woods, they bloom proudly.

3. Window flower box

On old-fashioned windowsills, very old containers are chosen here, paired with some zinnias, marigolds and the like. It feels full of vitality, without that old, broken-down feeling.

4. Old ceramic pots

The ceramic pots in the garden corner have become very old after wind and rain, but these spots have become a unique ornamental feature.

5. Small drawer flower bed

A very plain bright red drawer can be used to grow some succulents that do not need frequent watering. The choices here are Graptopetalum paraguayense and Sedum 'Burrito', with sphagnum moss as the medium. It looks pretty good, doesn't it?

6. Wooden frame flower bed

The ones above are old wine boxes, made into a vegetable garden by a gardening enthusiast as a DIY project. Once drainage holes are drilled, they are ready to use. The plants chosen here include marigolds, strawberries, sweet radishes, mint and other plants.

7. Unusual containers

This is an old cooler, instantly transformed into a lovely small flower bed, planted with some tobacco flowers, thyme, primroses and other plants.

8. Flower pot makeover

Broken pottery and glass fragments are reassembled into a unique flower pot. Some pebbles can also be added. This one is made with concrete and lime.

9. A true hanging pot

The pulleys left over from renovating a house can now be used to grow hanging plants, which should make your gardening friends' eyes light up. The choice here is busy lizzie. It looks pretty good, doesn't it?

10. Bamboo basket flower pots

This is a very ordinary basket, very cheap. You can place a ceramic pot or plastic pot inside the bamboo basket, provided you choose ones with a similar shape and size. The choice here is begonias - orange-red, bright red and yellow are especially stunning.
