Here are four unique ways to incorpo- rate stumps in your landscaping. Pedestal Thanks to their flat surface, tree stumps make perfect pedestals. Use your stump as a base for a bird feeder, a bonsai tree, a statue, a floral arrange- ment or even a fountain. As a finishing touch, surround the stump with flowers or decorative stones. Lighting Hollow stumps are great for hiding outdoor lighting in plain sight. Drill holes in the wood's surface or cut slats in the sides to let the light shine through. Use your stumps to subtly illuminate a tree, a shrub or a pathway. Art If you have certain artistic talents, why not turn your tree stumps into works of art? Sand then paint them to create unique decorative elements for your garden. You could even engrave or sculpt the wood if you'd like. Planter Fill up hollow tree stumps with soil and sow some seeds inside. Choose plant varieties that spread quickly to add character to your garden in no time at all. Seating Add a cushion; cut an indent into the top as a seat; add a backrest or just use as is for a restful spot to sit and enjoy your garden. To find all the plants, materials and tools you'll need to make your project a success, visit a gardening centre or plant nursery near you.
