Flowers bring a splash of color and a spark of joy to any home. Many people would love to plant a garden but don’t have the space, or maybe your landlord won’t let you dig up the yard. Fortunately, there are some creative, beautiful ways to spruce up your patio with a simple container garden. Below are just a few ways to brighten up your outdoor spaces.

3 Creative Ways to Plant a Patio Garden

1. Make a Border Around the Patio

A simple border around the patio can really make your garden pop and visually separate the concrete from the rest of your yard. Mixing flowers of different heights will create visual interest and using a variety of plants will give your border a more traditional garden feel.

2. Use Flower Boxes

Built-in flower boxes will make your garden seem like an integral part of the patio design and give you more flexibility. If you can’t build permanent flower boxes, large pots can achieve the same effect, especially if you combine them with benches and other seating. Depending on the flowers you choose, a container garden allows you to turn a concrete patio into a lush oasis.

3. Create a Privacy Screen

In addition to beautifying your outdoor space, a garden can give you a little privacy without putting up screens or building walls. Combining tall flowering plants with hanging pots that grow downwards can shield your family from the neighbors without making you feel caged in.
