9 fantastic proposals to beautify your garden by reusing plastic crates

Plastic crates, used to transport a myriad of different things- including fruit or milk - can be reused for so much more. They are one of those everyday objects, apparently of no use, which can, in fact, be recycled creatively in amazing ways.

They are spacious, colorful and robust. This is what makes them incredibly versatile for furnishing and decorating a lot of different environments, including the garden. Do you want to discover some great ideas to make your garden look spectacular and by spending very little? Then keep reading:

The first, and perhaps most obvious, way to use plastic crates is to use them to plant flowers. Arranging them in a row, you can create some very simple, spectacular flower beds. And it is just one of the many ways to set them out them to make the environment look more beautiful and cared for.

With the help of other simple wooden or metal structures / frames, for example, you can arrange the crates that have been turned into planters perpendicular to the ground, in order to create a type of vertical garden.

And, for an even more unique structure, the crats can be stacked to make a small tower, from which the plants can grow out of.

With a touch of creativity, and whatever material you want, you can create various types of seats using plastic crates. Nice stools with a wooden seat are ideal for decorating the garden for any event.

By adding a wooden or a material top to a crate, you can also transform it into a table where you can place your aperitifs or your other drinks and snacks.

By simply stacking the crates, perhaps using coordinated colors, you will get storage cabinets or plant holders, depending on what use you want to make of them or how you have decided to set up the garden.

Then you can also consider creating a small vegetable garden with the crates. By arranging them in rows, you will have many containers to grow various aromatic plants, spices and vegetables. And the layout will be typical of a vegetable garden - beautiful to see in the garden and useful for what can be harvested from it.

A chest of drawers made from wood and colored plastic crates is the ideal compromise between beauty and comfort. You could put it in the garden to store whatever you want. And it could also perform the double function of being a table and chest of drawers.

One last idea, could be to create lamps and chandeliers using plastic crates. Lights and colors, together, will give the garden that touch of energy and life that is a winning combination.

How about giving these a try? Which ones would you like to try?
