Decide what shape to make a flower bed. It can be strict geometric: rectangular, triangular, in the form of a trapezoid, rhombus. For romantic natures, a wavy edge, original forms are suitable.

This two-tiered flower garden consists of two triangles, the lower one is large, the upper one is smaller. For such a structure are used:

boards;
antiseptic or paint;
brush;
nails or screws;
corners;
screwdriver or hammer.

Connect three large boards in the form of a triangle, do the same with small ones. Cover this structure with an antiseptic or paint, wait for the layers to dry. Attach a small triangle to a large one, you get a wonderful flower bed.

Rectangular also looks great. Use the same list of materials and accessories.
First, make a box of two rows of boards, placing bars at the corners where you will attach them, you can use metal corners.
The second volume quadrangle consists of one row of boards. If you do not change the location of the rectangular elements of the flower garden, then you can make details only on three sides, attach this blank with the help of corners to the first.
If you plan to rearrange the structure, then the second blank should also consist of four boards.

bricks;
rope;
roulette;
pegs;
sand;
cement;
water.

Lay the first row of bricks horizontally, connect these elements with cement. Then apply it to the top, also place the bricks horizontally, stacking in relation to the original row in a checkerboard pattern.
Lay bricks on top of their narrow edge, also connect with cement mortar.

Round flower beds can also be created using bricks, and without even using sand and cement.

Do not immediately fill the entire cement mixture with water, take such portions that it is enough to put the mortar at once, since the rest can quickly harden.

metal grid;
wire;
pliers;
stones.

Place a layer of stones close to the inside. Pour earth into the recess, it will at the same time hold the stones.

If you want to make a high flower bed in several tiers, then for each subsequent one you need to cut a sheet of the desired shape from a metal mesh, put pieces of roofing material or geotextile here on the bottom. Stones are also installed on the side, pour earth inside.

If you lay the saw cuts of trees in a checkerboard pattern, then you will also get an interesting design of flower beds.
