One of my biggest frustrations in life is having our decent garden. Our yard is filled with plants but very unorganized. I was used to having lots of fruits trees within our compound and my grandmother just grew various plants at random areas. I can’t even remember seeing decent pots being used, all I know is that the elders at home have been using empty containers. Cans, gallons and tires. If internet existed in the past, they could have made the recycled pots prettier. LOL! Up to now, I’ve been used to seeing it that way. Browsing the Pinterest, I saw tons of DIY gardening ideas that I never thought would be possible. Funny how stones are painted to be garden decorations. The torn tires recycled, the pots assembled into nice figures and many more. If given a chance to explore my hidden interest, I think I’d choose to bring out the plant lover in me. Who knows I could be having a “green thumb” all this time and I just needed to discover it.
These ideas are good options to replace or to maybe redesign your garden bench, pathways,lanterns,fountains, bird feeder, gate, markers, pots and more. It’s like the usual gardening but definitely with an exciting twist. If someday I’ll be having my own home, I’ll surely get back to this collection of Do It Yourself Gardening Ideas Pinterest and maybe do 15-20 ideas from here. My family and friends, even the passersby will have their second look on lovely my yard would be in the future. I’ll even let people tour my garden and who knows it’s gonna be an instant tourist spot. You know like what people say, “If you’re going to dream, be sure to dream BIG”. Exactly what I am doing right now. Haha. Okay, going back to the gardening stuff – I’m not going to make this any longer. Brace yourselves garden lovers, for you will see the most unique, fun, exciting and creative ways to beautify your garden. Get ready!
