Who doesn’t love a garden full of flowers, but hey, not all of us have a green thumb, right? So here is a DIY collection of faux ways to add garden flowers to your yard, porch, or patio without having to plant a single seed, flora, shrub, or bush!

12 ways to add faux garden flowers to your backyard, porch, or patio.

Bicycle wheel flowers

These salvage bicycle wheel faux flowers could not be more unique and no doubt the conversation piece of any yard party.

Faux flower mosaics

From: Grow and Resist

These faux mosaic flowers were laid onto cinder blocks and then placed as a raised flower bed (which turned out beautifully, by the way), but adding pretend flowers via mosaics can be done on flower pots, stepping stones, etc… Once grouted down these bright and colorful pieces are quite a lasting way “keep your garden blooming” yearlong.

DIY flower bowl birdbath

From: Color Me Thrifty

Find a pretty thrifted flower bowl and turn it into a birdbath like this one.

 flower-painted-chairFlower painted chair

From: The Red Painted Cottage

Find a miss-matched, thrifted chair and cover it with painted flowers, or paint just a few.

So if reasons beyond your control or ability are keeping you from planting real flowers in your yard, I hope these faux garden flower ideas will inspire you to fill your space with flowers anyway.

And even if you have a garden full of flowers already, any of these faux flower ideas would add some punch and work as a flower “filler” in between the bloom times of your perennials.

Happy gardening, faux sure! ~ Amy

    What a great post for us garden challenged!!! Also thanks for plugging my chicken wire flowers. I actually bought some tomatoes and peppers, planted them in the greenhouse and they froze. I was a little mad but I live in Canada….what can you do. Wait until June I suppose and even then, I will keep my fingers crossed. Cheers!

    Wow, so much great inspiration Amy! I’m going to have to try some of these this summer. The bicycle wheels, and licence plate flowers are awesome, and I love Karen’s chicken wire flowers. Thanks so much for including my plate flowers and bird bath.
