1. Old tyres

2. Cactus movement

A pretty bowl, some stones and shells and an easy to maintain cactus are all you need for an interior garden with no fuss.

3. Jug planter

Old water jugs can instantly be upgraded at pretty planters or centre pieces for a vintage affair.

4. Jar it

Or use those glass jars as simple, elegant hanging pot plants. How's this for a pop of colour all over your garden?

5. Compost heap

A compost heap is a handy and efficient way to keep your garden soil rich and filled with nutrients.

6. Labelled

It's important to label your plants by date and name so you know when those prized pumpkins are ready for plucking.

7. Your favourites

Save space for your favourite blooms, but check regularly on the weeds and bugs so you won't have them feeding off those roses you adore so much.

8. The walls

You don't have walls in the garden for no reason. Hang some old bird cages as planters and they'll be just as vibrant and attractive as the rest of your home. Here's How to build your own pergola in one weekend
