Functional design
Functional design is the use of all possible elements with the benefit. So, the usual old things, which are time to throw away a long time ago, can serve you well if you apply them wisely. An ugly fence can be hidden behind flower pots. Paint old plastic or ceramic pots with colored enamel and fix on the fence above each other. So when watering excess moisture will drain into the lower pots. In this vertical garden you can grow not only bright flowers, but also useful garden plants.
If you liked the idea of ​​decorating an old fence with a vertical flower bed, but there are no unnecessary pots, use old rubber boots! At any dacha this "good" is abundant. Boots can be painted with the same multi-colored enamel, and it will be very effective to look at such a flower garden!
The old chest of drawers should have been thrown out, but the hand does not rise? Make it a practical and original element of garden decor with your own hands! Decorate the garden area in this way you can, but the effect will be temporary. Of course, over time the tree will collapse, but this flowerbed will last for more than a year, before the chest finally becomes unusable!
If you have a small area, and the soul requires a riot of greens and colors, use the maximum amount of free space. And it's not just about horizontal surfaces! From old plastic bottles or large five-liter bottles, make pots, attaching them to a fence, branches of trees or on the upper beams of the veranda.
Decorating the garden
If your kindergarten serves as a place of solitude and relaxation from any work, you need to do everything to make your gaze rejoice in every little thing.
Ordinary river cobblestones are quite capable of replacing costly garden sculptures. If you paint the stones with acrylic paints, you can quickly and easily decorate the garden with your own hands. Connect this lesson to the children and make of the cute ladybird stones!
Another version of garden sculpture can be made with your own hands from the same river pebbles. As a basis, you can take a suitable form of stone or make a "trunk" of a hedgehog made of cement. Gypsum for this purpose is better not to take, because the sculpture will be open to all winds and very quickly will collapse. Glue pebbles on the substrate can be "liquid nails" or strong silicate glue.
The mosaic of broken tiles and old dishes has recently become almost a separate direction of garden art. And if you combine mosaic with elementary artistic skills, you can create real miracles and decorate the garden with your own hands.
A usual barrel for compost or garbage can be perfectly masked, covering it with a beautiful and unusual pattern. To do this you will need an aerosol paint, gloves and leaves of any shape you like. Apply leaves or twigs to the barrel and cover with paint. The part that was under the sheet will remain untouched. Repeat the required number of times and with different leaves.
