But, unusual mini-flower beds will help to diversify, give zest to the design of the dacha. They are easily made from improvised materials. The main component is garden soil.

Flower pots covered with pieces of broken dishes
Try to place decorations for a summer residence in places that are unusual for us:
- on a bench by the garden path
- on the shore of a natural or artificial reservoir
- along buildings, greenhouses, fences or garden beds
- just on a stool or an old chair
In any case, the space will sparkle with new colors, become more fun, more unusual.

We decorate the interior space
The same old dishes will serve well for the implementation of ideas and indoors. In the country there is a tea set that is out of fashion or half broken. It is not necessary to take it outside, decorate the room or create a composition.
Old spoons and forks

Flower pots from ladles

We continue in nature
Here the scope for imagination increases exponentially.
Old furniture

Popular, grateful, profitable material for ideas or projects. In combination with flowers, it will take up a lot of space, so it will be possible to beat a significant space at no cost.

Old bed wrapped in climbing greenery
Use an old bed to play with lawn space. Or a gazebo. It's cozy, comfortable, beautiful, cheap.

And a flowerbed from an old piano, which has served its time, will generally replace the element of the cascade of a waterfall in the garden in the country

But, most importantly, take into account the style of the dacha, the preferences of the home, as well as the available arsenal. The remains of furniture are combined in one zone, painted in an unusual bright color, small or different elements are added.
Stumps from felled trees
When an old site is purchased for a summer cottage or after construction activities on a new one, the amount of wood trimmings or old stumps will save design costs. Do not throw away a valuable element for decoration.

An unexpected solution to the idea is a planter for your favorite flowers. But, you have to make an effort
The process of creating a planter takes time and effort:
- To make room for plants, remove the core. With the help of a pickaxe, a jigsaw, a drill, a chisel and an ordinary hammer, decorate a “flower meadow”. The time spent will be proportional to the size of the stump
- Leave the bark on the stump, but treat the core and bark with antifungal and antiseptic solutions. This will protect plants from disease.
- Inside, insert a container of a suitable size and fill it with soil. Do not fill the ground without containers, otherwise the stump will collapse quickly
- Plant the plants in the prepared pot
For flower beds curb stunted species, small shrubs and junipers are appropriate from the stump. Your main task is to maintain harmonious proportions between plants and the size of the stump.
Remains of logs
Ideas with a tree to decorate a summer house can not be counted. The rest of the wood is suitable for the original garden path.

Remains of building materials
A numerous and budget option for decorating a summer house is brick and the remains of a board. Ideas and projects will not only decorate and refresh the summer cottage, but will help to show creativity, use things that were going to be thrown away.
Stone compositions are a great idea, very practical and long lasting.
To implement the idea, the construction team is not needed. Any owner of the cottage is able to independently perform the list of works:
- Level and compact the soil
- Choose the type and size of the stone
- Apply markings and lay the material according to the drawing
If only adults and children will walk along the path and no cars or any other equipment will drive, you should not take large slabs.

Tires
Dacha outside the city requires the presence of a car. The type of used tires is unsightly, there is nowhere to store them, so we can use them for the benefit of our ideas. The usual decor is the design of garden beds and the design of deciduous plants.
It turns out simple, beautiful and useful. There is no garbage, and there is no extra flower bed. Who grew in the country strawberries, knows how important it is to transplant the culture after 3-4 years.
Glass or plastic bottles
This idea helps gardeners when you need to arrange a garden bed, cover cuttings or cover a weak seedling. And for creative people, this is a help in translating ideas. When creating an original structure, considerable patience will be required.
The advantage of products made from glass bottles is impermeability. They will not burn, they will not melt in the sun, they will not get wet in the rain. Even the fragments will be useful for the construction of a country masterpiece when implementing an idea.
Plastic bottles transform and bend. Plastic palm trees or animals will decorate the children's area or recreation area. Paint them in bright colors, and the design of the cottage will become unique.
When the cold comes and the flowerbeds with annual flowers cease to exist, the original ideas of compositions from plastic bottles. Regardless of the weather, they will keep a bright variety on the site.
unnecessary things

Garden Ideas
You also want to see beds with vegetables attractive and original. Expensive and fashionable material is not always available. Therefore, unusual solutions from the usual means help summer residents, and the garden looks no worse than a recreation area.

From the remains of a brick, slate or board, neat beds
A flowerbed of ornamental cabbage in the garden will become a designer exclusive. On the one hand, a vegetable, on the other, an original decoration.
Dress the scarecrow in the latest fashion. And it's good for plants and it's nice to look at. The remains of a metal rod are suitable for creating an arch, next to which you plant a climbing rose or ivy.

On our site, we teamed up with my mother's dacha. We got quite a decent area for the implementation of not only her garden, obligatory vegetable beds, but also for her ideas. The charm came out with the reservoir, from its side (now from the common side) a tiny, but rather deep river flows. This was a great success, and a new gazebo was put up not far, just by the cedars. Beauty indescribable opens to the opposite shore. Of course expanse for flower beds. We love all sorts of flowers, the eye rejoices at the abundance of many colors. And hanging flowerpots fell in love, ampelous pelargonium blooms with such lights that neighbors from afar see this miracle. Some people don't even know about these types. How much I share it already, everyone is surprised at such an unpretentious, but lush flower. They also dragged an old grandfather Cossack to the site. We made this rarity the basis of the clubs, planting petunia, it grows well and quickly, creating a flower abundance.And the barberry fence finally got rid of annoying guests, from village cats to someone's curious goat.

A lot of rubbish gathered at the dacha, which I planned to throw out, but it became a pity, and now I can use this rubbish to good use. I always wanted to transform my site and turn it into a beautiful place. Last year, he installed decorative fences and laid out a stone sidewalk.

In the process of reading the article, I found many useful solutions for decorating the garden with flowers and at the same time I do not have to allocate a lot of space for flowers. I will use free places, and I will use various rubbish as containers for flowers and flower beds: balls, plastic containers, shoes and car tires, having previously decorated all this. I especially liked the idea with swans - simple execution and looks spectacular. I also note the fence of the plates - simple and tasteful. I have always admired people who can create something beautiful and useful out of nothing.
