15 Upcycled Garden Ideas Anyone Can Do

Create unique, useful, and eco-friendly items with these upcycled garden ideas – everything from outdoor lighting to furniture and planters.

Are you ready for some amazing upcycled garden ideas from some talented bloggers? Reusing things and making them into useful and beautiful objects are one of my favorite things, ever. In fact, I have an ebook and a section of the blog dedicated to Thrift Store Transformations! They’re good for the environment, good for the pocketbook, and create unique items that aren’t just the same cookie-cutter, what-everyone-else-has things.

And of course when you gift one of these creations, it just gets even better in my mind – blessing others with unique, lovingly made things is so much more meaningful than just running to the store and grabbing something off the shelf (not that there’s anything wrong with that, if that’s what you can do!).

So how about seeing what we can upcycle for the garden? I’ve gathered some really creative ideas for you that use a lot of common things that are easy to find, some that solve problems (need for light or furniture, what to do with a rusty old grill frame), and all that are super inspiring! Even if I don’t have the exact items, I’m always inspired by lists like these that make me look at the stuff I do have with new eyes – aren’t you?
