The gardening season has already started in many places, and I’m sure that you are thinking over your outdoor décor, furniture and other stuff as soon we are going to spend a lot of time there. Today I’d like to spoil you with super cool flower bed designs that you may try to renovate the outdoor space décor.
Tree Stumps
Hollow tree stumps and logs can be used as cool raised garden beds. First of all, you’ll repurpose an old tree stump, second, you’ll get a very eye-catching and natural look, and third, a raised garden bed has several advantages, and you’ll get it for free. Plant bold flowers there to create a cool contrast or succulents, which look amazingly harmonious.

Spilled Flower Beds
I must confess, this is my favorite type of lower beds! Spilled flower beds have an adorable eye-catching and amusing effect that will refresh any outdoor décor and will look unforgettable –as if you’ve just spilled flowers there! Choose some bold blooms and of course the pot – a wooden bathtub, a milk churn, a large porcelain pot, which will be dug into the ground to create that effect.
