Seeds, Fertilizer & More

Flowers bring joy to the garden and home. These popular types are easy to grow, and make great gifts for friends and loved ones.

The iconic spring flower daffodil symbolizes birth and new beginnings, and its cheerful blooms add cheer to any home. Gardenias are fuss-free annuals that offer a range of colors, including pinks, reds and whites.

The older the stump, the better it will work for your flower bed. This is because it’ll be easy to carve out the wood to make room for your brilliant flora. According to Gingham Gardens, you will need to draw out the area you want to carve out of the trunk with ink and then go gather your power tools: your drill, hammer, electric chisel, and whatever digging tools you’ll require.

TikTok DIY craft page @creativelyhome lays out the simple steps required to transform that dingy old trunk into a brilliantly flowered attraction. Start by digging out the stump. You need to create a large, sturdy base for your flowers to root properly, so scoop out as much wood as possible. Rotten stumps are perfect for this because they’re much softer than fresh ones. Go as deep as you need to. Once your base is created, drill some drainage holes into the sides of the trunk. This will ensure your plant roots don’t get waterlogged and rot. A few holes later, you can toss some gravel and nutritious soil into the base. Finally, plant your flowers and watch them bloom.

If you already have a tree stump flower bed that needs some revamping from the previous set of flowers, you can just give it a touch-up. Just remove the old plant, scoop out the dirt, and replace it with fresh soil and a flower transplant if you wish, as @creativelyhome demonstrates in their video.
