Rustic Flower Gardens – 17 Landscaping Ideas
Rustic is now back in force more than ever, both in terms of architectural style and interior design, amid a growing need of city dwellers to find their peace in an authentic environment, unaltered by the technological development. But rustic also means a relaxing atmosphere beyond the walls of a house, as we will clearly see in the images below. For those seeking their spiritual fulfillment in simple things, here are some flower rustic gardens in a series of superb examples to inspire you.
Give your cast-off items a new lease on life in your garden and play with them. Here, a rusty formal metal gate gets a country makeover when it’s hung between two reclaimed barn timbers and under an old saw, adding charm to the flower garden.
Speaking of old items which you ready to throw away, think twice before doing that. Give them a new ornamental role instead in some changes that exacerbate the authentic feel of a living or relaxing space. Here are some telling examples in the images below.
Turn a dull looking shed into a work of art by adding a collection of your favorite vintage items. Here, the back of a garage gets a face-lift with a pretty and practical potting bench, old garden tools, metal advertising signs, and pots of colorful flowers.
The old metal furniture and an old chandelier, with the same flower pots in the background, sketch the same simple, yet captivating and energetic picture. An iron bench projects the same visual effect on the landscape it is in.
Metal again in sight – new or vintage galvanized tubs, troughs, or livestock feeders make wonderful planters that give any deck or patio an instant country look. Just be sure to drill holes in the bottom of your container before you plant to ensure good drainage.
For those who do not run away from challenges, here’s one in the image below: a sturdy arbor was created with weather-resistant cedar logs covered with a roof of bent willow twigs. It only involves some efforts and practical skills.
