What Is Driftwood in the Garden
Driftwood in the garden refers to weathered wood found on beaches, riverbanks, or shorelines. It is cleaned by water and sun, making it a natural material for outdoor use. Gardeners collect it for decoration, edging, and plant support.
How to Use Driftwood in the Garden
You can place driftwood as a standalone sculpture, a border for beds, or a trellis for climbing plants. It also works as a natural stake for tall vegetables or a base for container displays. Use it to create a rustic, coastal look.
How to Prepare Driftwood for Garden Use
Rinse driftwood with fresh water and let it dry fully in the sun. Scrub off loose bark or salt residue. If you want to slow decay, seal the wood with a garden-safe sealant. Place it on well-drained soil to avoid rot.
