There’s nothing quite as magical as the garden this time of year. Each day, there’s something new, something sprouting, something blooming and changing. The work you put in becomes visible with each fresh bud and flower. Here are a few fun ways to add extra style to your garden and a few ways to bring the joy of the garden indoors — even if you don’t have a green thumb!
Add Vertical Elements
Flowers and shrubs are usually inherently near to the ground. Add visual interest by incorporating some vertical elements like a trellis, a stand with hanging baskets, or a tall, cascading planter.

Make a Garden Chandelier
If you enjoy entertaining outdoors or even just enjoying a cup of coffee in the garden, we love this idea from The Design Twins! Just a few steps and you have a gorgeous flower chandelier to highlight your outdoor - or even indoor - space.
Set up a Potting Bench
A potting bench is equal parts beautiful and practical. Use it to prep plants, pot annuals, and store frequently-used garden supplies, then use it to display a few of your favorite plants or pieces of outdoor decor. Cleaned up, it also doubles as a great extra buffet for outdoor entertaining.

Consider Pathways
Depending on the size and layout of your garden, consider adding a pathway or trying a new material for the path. Adding a path connecting garden sections helps draw the eye around the entire space. More structured gardens may look best with square pavers and defined edging, while pebbles or circular stepping stones may be better suited to more whimsical, wild gardens.
Bringing the Garden Indoors
Whether you’re lacking in the green thumb department or just want to bring a bit of the joy of the garden into your home, these botanical beauties will look stunning on your cabinets year-round.
