Growing colourful flowers isn’t the only way by which you can add a colourful and playful ambience to your backyard. You can also use old items which you can picked up from yard sales, flea markets and salvation depots to achieve your goal of creating a fun garden in which you and your family can rest and relax.
Hold top-heavy flowers such as zinnias upright by placing a stripped old metal patio furniture or a wire basket with large mesh over them. The zigzagging springs of the furniture or wire of the basket will allow the flowers to grow upright without the risk of breaking as it will provide the necessary support. If you wish to add colour to your backyard you can paint the patio furnishing or basket in a bright vibrant colour.
Instead of arranging your potted plants, flower and herbs in one corner of your backyard why don’t you arrange them on a wagon or wheelbarrow? This way you can easily move them around your garden and always leave them at the right spot to catch as much sunlight as possible. The presence of the wheelbarrow or wagon in your yard will give to the entire area a more rustic feeling.
Create a boundary between your different types of flowers and plants by placing a rusty iron fence between the sections. The presence of the rusty fence will give a vintage touch to your garden. If you don’t have pieces of an iron fence you can also use fragments of an old stone cornice. Know that you can get both features from a construction salvage yard in your area.
Do you like having birds in your backyard? If so, then hand several old oilcans on the trees of your garden. The spout of the cans will be the ideal perches for the birds to land on while the cans will provide comfortable shelter. You can also build your own birdbath by placing a salvaged pedestal sink in an area of your garden and filling it with water.
You can use old metal funnel to hang your flowers. The funnels have their own drainage system and are light enough to be easily hanged with the aid of twine. To add colour to your garden you can paint the funnels in different bright colours.
You can highlight your more prized flower or plant by planting it into an old chimney. Everybody would notice a large old chimney in the middle or one corner of your yard and will immediately ask you want you have planted there.
