**Old Pallets**: Grab some sturdy wooden pallets from a local store or warehouse. Just break them down and stack them to create a frame for your garden bed. Sand them down a bit to avoid splinters, and you’re good to go!

**Cinder Blocks**: If you have some leftover cinder blocks lying around, they make a great garden bed. Just stack them in a rectangle or square, and fill the center with soil. Plus, the holes in the blocks can be used for planting herbs or flowers!

**Reclaimed Wood**: Look for old fence boards, barn wood, or anything else that’s been discarded. Cut them to size and nail or screw them together to form a box. Just make sure the wood isn’t treated with chemicals if you’re growing edibles.

**Bricks**: If you have bricks from a demolition site or leftover from a project, you can create a charming garden bed by stacking them in a circle or rectangle. It gives a rustic look and is super durable.

**Bathtubs**: Got an old bathtub? Turn it into a quirky garden bed! Just place it in a sunny spot, fill it with soil, and plant away. It’s a unique way to recycle and looks pretty cool.

**Wine Crates**: If you can find some wooden wine crates, they can be perfect for small garden beds. Just stack a few or use them as individual planters. They’re usually deep enough for herbs or small veggies.

**Old Tires**: You can use old tires to create raised beds. Stack a couple on top of each other, paint them if you want to add some flair, and fill them with soil. They’re great for growing root veggies!
