Concrete Block Garden

We recently found some concrete blocks from a demolished building and we picked up about 13 of them and brought them home. They were broken, partially painted, and sat in our backyard for a while.

This past weekend we painted them so that they were all evenly covered.  Then we stacked them, poured in Quickcrete that my husband mixed with water (to create a bottom in the blocks to hold the dirt) and allowed it to dry, added potting soil and some pretty flowers.

We made a corner area full of gravel beside it, and we love it!
