If your site has stumps from cut trees, then this is more likely a disadvantage. Uprooting takes much more time and effort than cutting a tree. So why suffer, if you can make an excellent flower garden out of a lack.
This idea is good because an unsuccessful or ugly flowerbed will turn out, it just can’t. Naturalness is the main advantage of such a flower garden. Flower stumps from stumps fit perfectly anywhere on the site. They, in principle, need to be decorated with anything, better than nature, you still can’t do it.
You can make a flower garden in different ways, for example this one, which in the photo above is made using a wire basket. Such a grid can be made independently, it may not be of perfect shape, it is still not visible under the flowers, the main thing is to be the size of a stump. It is better, of course, to find galvanized wire so that the structure does not rust quickly. Put the grid on the cut and secure with metal staples.
Buy moss sphagnum in a specialized store, who is engaged in floriculture, knows what this thing is. This moss is great for planting young plants, it is often used for growing flowers. Fill the basket along the walls, squeezing moss around the wire frame.
Then fill the interior with soil with fertilizers.
Moisten the contents of the basket. Tamp the soil carefully to remove air pockets and moisten. Add more soil to the rim level of the basket.
Plant flowers. In the middle you can place New Zealand flax, a perennial plant with xiphoid leaves, its roots are small, but they are ideal for flower beds on a stump. Geranium can be planted nearby, and along the edges of Helichrysum petiolare, although it is a decent water chowder, it has beautiful velvety leaves with a soft pile. To fill the sides, carefully dig holes through the moss and press the roots of the plants through the gaps until contact is made with the soil mixture.
Water constantly during the growing season, and when the flowers harden, you can safely enjoy the look of the original flowerbed.

A stump can be the basis for the design of a large flower bed. Since the base is ready, you only need to remove part of the core to fill the space with soil. It’s better to do this with a gusset, or if the stump is large, then the pickaxe, all the same, you need to hollow out the indentation quite voluminous, so that the pickaxe will be handy.
Deepening must be done with a margin to make a side, of course, a lot depends on the colors that you are going to plant, for some the root system is quite voluminous.
Do not miss such a moment as a hole for the stack, for this you need to check one or more holes on the edges of the walls of the bowl from below.

There is another option, a longer one, to insert a pot into the recess, then the wood will not deteriorate, and the flower bed will last much longer. True, you will have to tinker with the recess, it is quite difficult to fit it under the pot, except to use plastic, but this is not very useful for colors.
