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.

Thanks!

.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
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
