The corners of our gardens are rife with visual decorating opportunities. While it can be tempting to leave an empty corner vacant, you would be surprised at how easy it can be to fill this unloved space with bountiful herbs and fragrant flowers in a way you might not have expected, or in a place that you may not have even considered.
Belavi – ALDI’s sought-after gardening and patio furniture and accessory line, recently released a tiered garden flower display – and it is a fraction of the price of competitor alternatives.

Overlooked outdoor nooks can quickly become unsightly, clutter hotspots, especially if they don’t have a clear purpose or design idea behind them. Often cramped, shady, dead-end areas, they can prove tricky to manage and are drab distractions rather than striking focal points.
A corner shelving display will be a wonderful addition to a small garden and can be used to bring structure and interest to the space. Many small or courtyard gardens are in cities, so using a vertical, tired planter to create a sense of privacy can be very effective, as well as making the space appear larger, as the eye is naturally drawn upwards.
Tired flower shelves are also fantastic for hard-landscaped gardens without fertile soil for planting, as well as city balconies, and decked patios. There really is no reason why you can’t bring a botanical touch to a small outdoor space.
If you don’t have a front or backyard space, you can use the flower shelf indoors. I love to use bathroom plants that thrive in humidity to make my wet room feel like a spa.
Shop the look
ALDI may be significantly cheaper than competitors, but they are by no means the only option for tiered shelving. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite designs below.
2 Tier Corner Flower Shelves
This practically perfect corner shelf is a fantastic way to enliven a ‘dead’ corner in your home or garden. Fill the shelves with fresh blooms, herbs or even beautifully cascading plants that fully cover the shelf to curate an immediate attraction. It will add both height and color to a plain backyard.
Fleur De Lis Living Saraland Corner Stand
Vintage-style corner shelving is really coming into the fore for summer 2025, and what better way to showcase this trend than in your yard. Decorate with my favorite herbs, such as rosemary, thyme and mint for a garden corner that not only looks beautiful, but smells fragrant. It is a full-on multi-sensory experience.
Bamworld Tall Plant Stand
This best-selling plant stand can be used indoors and outdoors, and the slimline design is perfect in smaller gardens, balcony and courtyards. Keep it minimal with just one plant – in one color – on each shelf for a truly modern look.
