A couple of weeks ago I shared the vinyl and wood come together patio sign I made for this month’s DIY challenge along with links from other bloggers who shared ideas for updating their outdoor spaces.  Today I’ve rounded up some of my favorite ideas from the ones that were shared.  These creative ideas for your outdoor garden will add something special to your yard and give your vegetable and flower beds a personalized DIY touch.  Be sure to read all the way to the bottom because I saved my favorite project for last {wink}!

Skip the containers and build a vertical garden instead.  Wouldn’t this be a gorgeous way to also create a privacy screen from the neighbors?  I’m thinking of building one for my back patio, just to create a little ambience.
