12 ways to make the most of the Florenity Plant Shelf

1. Buy several to create a dramatic vertical wall of colour and greenery – you could set them up with a gap in between leading to the rest of the garden, making the view mysterious like the best garden designers do
2. Use a collection of them to demark your garden entertainment space, with your BBQ to the side and a heat and light source like a chimenea or fire pit in the centre for people to gather around
3. Stand multiple pots of spring bulbs in old tin buckets
4. Use either the same coloured and sized pots or a variety of different colours and sizes. You can add instant colour and interest to ordinary terra cotta plant pots easily with leftover household paint
5. Fill it with pots of frothy dangling, rambling and climbing plants so thick and lush that the shelves themselves disappear
6. Use them to hide things like your bins, the kids’ play area, or the compost heap
7. Create shade where you need it with a luscious wall of greenery
8. Go formal with lots of pots containing the same miniature evergreen, laid out in perfect lines
9. Forget plants. Use the shelf to display garden ornaments
10. Make an interesting focal point by displaying sea shells, smooth beach pebbles and driftwood, creating a seaside vibe in your back garden
11. Hang glass baubles from the shelves to make your planting into a festive outdoor display – and deck the shelves with bunting in summer to add extra colour
12. Stash the family’s wellies on the shelves out of the weather, keep your crockery and cutlery on it safely while you BBQ, put your bottles of booze and soft drinks on one shelf and glasses on another
