Make the birds happy!
The feathery garden dwellers love a cooling bath in hot summers. A tree stump is a very good basis for a bird bath. To do this, scrape a hollow in the surface that you seal with varnish or wax.
You can also attach a purchased bird bath from the garden center to the surface.
Change the water more often and clean the drinking troughs from time to time to keep avian diseases from spreading.
Green tree stump
A green stump becomes a highlight in the garden. Just plant a few climbing plants around the trunk. Ivy in very shady locations or clematis in partially shaded locations are well suited. If the stump is in a very sunny spot, sow nasturtiums or morning glories around the trunk every year.
Flower baskets that you plant with climbing garden flowers also look very decorative. Hanging geraniums or petunias creep down and hide the stump.
Convert tree stump to table
If the stump is thick enough, you can even conjure up a garden table out of it. To do this, the top of the stump must be sawed off straight. Then a wooden plate is screwed on and you have a rustic table at which you can have coffee in summer.
Create artwork
There are hardly any limits to your options. If you are skilled with the saw, you can shape the tree stump into animal shapes.
Tips
There are many good reasons to leave a stump in the garden. The wood offers microorganisms a good shelter. You also save so much of the work involved in disposing of a tree stump.
