There are a thousand ways to add touches of color to the garden - using plants of all kinds in flower beds and planters is just one of these ways. And the more these installations are creative and artistic, the more they will satisfy all those with green thumbs who want to make their gardens a corner of paradise.

Among the many ideas that are popular online, there is one that continues to attract everyone's attention: that of vases that spill a river of flowers onto the ground. It is brilliant in its simplicity and versatility: you can use flowers (often seasonal) of all kinds, but also succulents. And slopes can be exploited, empty and anonymous spots can be filled and even old or broken objects can be recycled! Take a look at the examples below:

Considering which seasonal varieties are most easily found in the area you live in, there will be a huge choice of plants and flowers with which to create these wonderful compositions.

For example, blue flowers will give the impression of being a spill of water that is spreading on the ground!

And this type of configuration can look beautiful even in the middle of a gravel path.

You can also be inspired by a container placed as a "knocked over" object. For example, if you are using an old milk can, it would be nice to choose white flowers (in keeping with the theme of spilled milk).

In addition to terracotta vases, amphorae and wooden vats, another object that often works very well in these arrangements is an old wheelbarrow.

When you don't have the space, or time, to create a real flower bed, it may also be enough to choose a hanging plant, such as certain types of sedum or creeping / ground cover plants.

To create an even more impressive a stream of flowers, you can take advantage of a slope in the garden. And if there isn't a sloping point to use, you can create the effect using rocks.

And when the plants grow to form a compact cushion, the result is very beautiful.

And why not combine this idea with even more artistic installations, where it appears that the pots, suspended in midair, are spilling the flowers onto the ground.
