Create A Cost Effective Flower Garden With Bench For A Pretty Focal Point
Supplies:
- wood bench
- random lumber if repairing something
- half moon edger for flower bed cutting
- long handle spade shovel for planting
- plants and flowers
Instructions:
Bench
- Buy, build or repair an old found bench.
- Place bench feet on concrete bricks or stepping stones then level, for added longevity.
- If repairing, remove any broken pieces, then recut fresh wood to replace.
- Give the bed a good push to address other instability issues.
Flower beds
- Position the bench in a desired location in the garden.
- Choose taller plants behind the bench, and shorter along the sides. Choose varieties that bloom at different times of the year for an interesting variation.
- Arrange the plants as desired, dig holes, enhance soil, then plant each bush or flower. Leave room for expanding beds as you land more plants.
- Once all plant placements are established, use a half moon edger to cut pretty flower bed shapes around the plants leaving a nice space between plant and lawn for a clean look.
