Growing and planting your favorite flowers every year is so satisfying. It is enjoyable to slowly expand a yard and include dainty or dramatic blooms! But what happens when you get tired of the same old plain garden beds?

When it comes to changing up your landscape, the flower beds are a great place to start! With some simple additions or relocations, improve the look and style of your space! Wondering how to make it look beautiful too?

Upgrade or improve your garden beds with the help of unique, creative, and breathtaking inspiration. Discover how to add splendor to your garden with these five beautiful flower bed ideas!

Tiered Flower Bed

If space is your enemy when planting more flowers, use height to your advantage! A tiered flower bed allows additional planting that shows off more blooms, trailing foliage, and personal style.

Make your tiered flower bed out of any material you prefer that matches your garden aesthetic. Craft them out of wood, brick, or slate, or upcycle old garden materials to create your own crafty, tiered garden.

Not the DIY type? Find a pre-made tiered garden bed both online or in most garden centers. Once in place, fill them up with your favorite flowers and greenery!

Fairy Ring Flower Bed

This unique and creative fairy ring garden bed brings magic and whimsy to your yard! Don't limit yourself to the outer edges of your yard; this fairy ring works anywhere! Put it in the center of the lawn, off to the side, or next to your favorite blossoming tree.

To create a fairy ring garden, prepare the area you want to plant flowers by removing all the grass. Ensure to dig deep enough to avoid grass regrowing in your new garden. Another option is sheet mulching! For this method, lay down newspaper or cardboard over the grass, water, and add compost on top of it and wait six to eight weeks. Add soil and your plants when it is ready!

Once you prepare your fairy garden area, line it with other natural elements like tree stumps or rocks. Plant bright, colorful flowers within your beds with plenty of trailing or vining foliage. The more whimsical of flowers you plant, the more magical the space becomes!

Rock Flower Bed

Not all garden beds need to feature dirt! When adding beauty to your yard, garden beds that stand out from others are more likely to catch the eye! Accomplish this with a simple change in foundation and materials. Instead of dirt, try using rocks for the visible top layer!

A rock garden bed is an attractive way to play with new, unique plants that thrive in pebbly soil. Flowers like coral bells, kalanchoe, and sedum are happy to thrive within the rocks. Plant your favorite rock-loving flowers next to succulents and begin to build!

Don’t want to sacrifice your choice of flowers? If your favorite blooms need specific soil consistency and nutrients, alternatively, plant them in a pot! Hide your flower pots in and among the rocks, or even bury the pot in the ground.

Tree Stump Flower Bed

Do you have the remains of a once majestic tree now lingering in your yard? Some feel that tree stumps are more of an eye-sore, as they do not offer foliage to the landscape. In actuality, these stumps are flower beds waiting to happen!

Instead of letting your tree stumps sit vacant in your yard, transform them into flower beds! Rest a basket or box on the stump or cut the center out for a bed.

If cutting out the actual tree remains, cut it deep enough to fill it with enough quality soil. Use a chainsaw, hatchet, axe, or chisel to help you carefully hollow out the tree. Plant your favorite flowers within once the hole is filled, and voilà! You have created a natural garden bed out of the nature left behind!

Wildflower Meadow

What people consider a proper garden bed is in the eye of the beholder! With this in mind, some may think beyond the restraints of allotted garden beds and let their flowers roam free!

A wildflower meadow is one option to grow your flowers where they have free rein to prosper where and how they choose. This method is for those gardeners who are content with sacrificing lawn space and creating a meadow instead.

The best way to implement a wildflower meadow is to gather wildflower seeds. These need to include species that are local to your area and are not invasive. Also, remember that some wildflowers are prohibited, banned, or illegal to take, use, or sell in certain states. Some examples of banned flowers or those listed as noxious weeds include Queen Anne’s Lace, Ox-eye Daisy, and Dame’s Rocket.

Spread the seeds in your chosen meadow through careful planting or chaos gardening. Chaos gardening is where you mix everything and spread it out on your plot to grow randomly.

It is illegal to take wildflowers from protected or national park areas in many areas. Always check with your local government or council to verify the proper method of attaining and planting wildflowers.
