Succulents planted neatly next to and between pavers.Edging doesn't always have to be between a bed and the lawn, edging a flower bed next to a path helps to blend the lines in the garden.

Using plants to do this is very effective and, if you preplan and propagate your own plants, can be cheap too!

Not only that but it will help to reduce weeding by filling up the space where you would usually find weeds creeping in. An absolute winner if you ask me!

Upcycling is all the rage these days and garden edging has not escaped the creative and resourceful geniuses. You can use pretty much anything to edge a garden bed. Plates and bottles are becoming very popular in recycled garden design.
