Want a unique way of planting all your flowers? Try using a bike with a basket or a old wheelbarrow! They make for a fun conversation piece and adds some style to your garden.
Bird Feeder
A great way to help the environment is feeding the birds! You can even use an old wine bottle to make the perfect bird feeder.
Pallet Wood Furniture
Convert leftover pallet wood into a cozy sofa, a perfect place to sip your morning coffee or enjoy an evening cocktail. Or even use the old pallet wood for showing off your potted plants. Fill with an array of potted flowers in the summer, then switch to pumpkins or pinecones for the fall months.
Hammock
Is there anything more soothing than a hammock gently swinging under string lights? This easy-to-pull-off setup is guaranteed to be your favorite spot to relax.
Light Up Trees
Create a romantic spot by twisting a string of white lights around a cluster of trees in your backyard. Not only will this create an enchanting place to sit in the evenings, but it will be charming to look at from inside your home. This look will be perfect year round!
