Leftover bricks to create small flowerbed/garden in back yard?

Question

my BF has a some leftover bricks in his back yard to when his neighborhood was a new development. would it look silly to line about 3 rows of them up to create a small flower bed in a back corner of his backyard. ive only seen them with rocks and the rocks are $2 a piece vs free and already in back yard.

not sure what to plant either -totally blind when it comes to this.

Thanks!

Answer 1

.Why not? It would be a waste  to just throw the bricks out. You could make a very nice planter box with those.You could make it look very nice just use your own creativity

Answer 2

i've used bricks before. you can "plant" them at an angle so that one corner is in the air and the bricks lay one after the other. let me see if I can find a picture for you.

here's one:

it's the smaller picture second down.

as for what you're planting, that will depending on the light conditions. you've probably got a lot of sun, so go to a nursery and see what they have right out in the sun.  pick what you like best and plant it. doesn't really matter if you do all one plant or a whole bunch of different things.

good luck
