Any ideas of how to use drainage tiles in landscaping?

When I bought my home the previous own left about 200 industrial drainage tiles with blue ceramic tops (various rectangle sizes). I am currently landscaping my property using all of the stones from an old barn, bricks from a chimney taken down and old barn wood to make raised garden beds.
Does anyone have ideas of how to use the drainage tiles to add to my landscaping?

We have some old clay pipes and drainage tiles also. We use the 12" long drain tiles set on end as stands for container planters. I’m thinking of taking the drain pipes which are about 3-4 feet long and placing three of them together at different heights in the ground with the bell ends up, and planting things in them. You might use them as corner accents for the raised beds. Stand them on end, fill them with potting soil and plant something you like in them.
