When I am doing gardening outdoors, I particularly like to make some creative ideas that make flower growing more convenient. The following are practical shelves made from commonly used materials in life. Various gardening tools at home will have suitable places to be placed, making it easier and more comfortable to grow flowers.

If you want to make better use of the space outdoors or on the balcony, the following DIY ideas are suitable for you. You can make the most of the space in your home, spend the least money, make practical shelves, and make growing flowers more interesting.

1. Wicker Basket

This is a very simple wicker basket, which is very suitable for placing on the door next to the balcony or yard. It looks fresh and natural and can be hung directly on the wall. They are also very cheap and many families have them. They are very good for placing various gardening tools. The key is that they will not accumulate water and can be placed outdoors.

2. DIY Screw Hook

On the tray of an outdoor wooden flower stand, you can install some larger screws to turn it into a good hook for placing some flower-growing tools, or even a hook for hanging flowers in pots. Gardening gloves or watering cans can also be placed on it, and it can also be used to store hoses.

3. Garden Hose Preservation

A very old galvanized bucket has been transformed into a hose storage container, which can save a lot of space. Of course, holes must be drilled in the bottom of the galvanized bucket to avoid water accumulation. The container itself looks very rural. Does it fit your aesthetic?

4. Mailbox Tool Rack

Some abandoned mailbox racks can be placed next to the flowers in the yard. The mailbox becomes a practical rack for gardening tools. You can buy one in some second-hand stores, or modify one yourself. It not only makes it convenient to grow flowers, but also increases the attractiveness of the yard.

5. Trays become racks

This is a great storage rack, which is actually made from multi-layer wooden pallets. It is divided into many layers and is very suitable for placing old flower pots and some gardening tools. It can even be used to place seedling pots. The top can be used as a very practical gardening workbench.

6. DIY Garden Hose Hide Box

A wooden box with a potted plant container on the top, which is planted with beautiful petunias, and a hose hidden at the bottom. This is a very practical idea. You can plant your favorite flowers and plants on the top of the container, and the hose is hidden at the bottom, which also facilitates the flower-growing work.

7.PVC Pipe Tool Storage

PVC pipes of various sizes can also be made into great storage racks. Simply cut them appropriately and then fix them on wooden boards. They can be used to store various gardening tools, which makes gardening activities very convenient. This DIY storage rack does not cost much.

8. Outdoor storage cabinet

This is a small outdoor storage cabinet made of wooden boards. If you buy it directly, the price will be relatively expensive. However, if you have some boards yourself, you can spend some time and energy to make one yourself. The size can be made according to your needs. It is a good place to place gardening tools. I have also seen storage racks modified from shoe racks.

9. DIY potted landscape

Some shallow pots can be turned into very nice plant landscapes. Prepare some cute architectural models and match them with some creeping small flowers, such as Sedum, Golden Leaf Passerine, ivy, nasturtium and other plants. We also select some easy-to-flower marigolds and decorate them with some pebbles, and they can become great potted micro-landscapes, which are very ornamental.

10. Tool Rack

The picture above is an abandoned garden rake. By hanging it on a reinforced concrete wall, it becomes a storage rack. This is a good way to make use of the abandoned tools. However, the target is quite sharp. This idea has its pros and cons. It depends on personal preference.

11. DIY Storage Planter Workbench

This is a very mini gardening workbench, divided into two spaces. The bottom is used to place flower pots and watering cans, and can also hold some fertilizer or soil. The top is used as a shelf for potted plants, or for repotting and transplanting.

12. Shoe rack turns into storage rack

It is a good idea to transform a woven shoe bag into a gardening rack. This kind of shoe bag is very common in the market. The material itself is loose and breathable, which is very suitable for placing gardening tools. It is very good for storing seeds of plants and flowers, making flower-growing life more interesting.
