DIY Rusty Metal Garden Planters
Some people believe that gardens in the United States should reflect our cultural past, therefore rather than copies of Greek and Roman statues, they tuck cast iron manual pumps and hand plows into garden nooks. This theme is reflected in the rusted planters. The planters are manufactured from recycled corten steel, which can be bought in rolls and cut and welded into any size and shape you need by you or a metalworker. These planters last a long time since the interior is weather-protected and only becomes rusty on the exterior after three to six months.
Introduce Rhythm And Interest With Planter Boxes
Line them up along a terrace or by the pool, and scatter topiary among them, if you want your planter box ideas to make a real display. They become a focal point when combined with dark-leaved evergreens and a stunning shape and color.
According to Sarah Casey from Authentic Provence, wooden planter boxes provide a formal touch and have a deep history. The handcrafted “Authentic Provence Versailles garden planter” is a replica in every detail of the French planter boxes from the 17th century that can be found all throughout the grounds at the Château de Versailles. These containers are commonly used to plant citrus trees. To remove the citrus tree or take care of its roots, our Versailles planters include detachable wood panels.

Want to give a barren area of your yard some leafy interest? The solution is planter box ideas in that case. In addition to grouping and positioning them to maximize your available area, you can modify the planting to match your preferences and the aspect of your yard. Why not choose a trio to make a classy and unified display at a few different levels because many designs available in a variety of sizes and heights?

Consider how daring and colorful you want the outcome to be while choosing plants. Although tropical garden ideas using cannas, fatsia, and palms would suit warmer climes, try sculptural drought-loving plants such as agaves, manzanita, cactus, and lantana. A combination of clipped evergreens and slender deciduous trees, such as these white stemmed birch trees, create a timeless feel that also reflects the change in seasons.
Make a Statement With Unusually Shaped Beds
The majority of flower beds are either naturally curved or sleekly rectangular. But this standard does not apply to your flower gardens. You can create an unexpected focal point in your front yard by creating flower beds that resemble parallelograms, trapezoids, or even circles.
DIY Stacked Stone Plant Beds
Any shape you want can be easily made into stacked stone planters. Choose a site for the planter, then arrange a garden hose or a section of clothesline rope there in the desired shape. Spray the area surrounding your shape with paint. Next, a foot-wide area directly inside the outline needs to be cleared. To provide a stable foundation for your wall, compact the earth inside the area you have cleaned. Tier two or more planters should be used if the location you chose for your planter slopes. Build the lowest tier first, then connect the levels by placing the capstone of lower layers beneath the base of the following higher tier.
Make A Statement With A Potted Tree
According to the staff at planter experts IOTA Garden, “On a large terrace or patio, sometimes one or two large planted pots that are appropriate for the scale can have far more impact than several smaller ones, which may look inconsequential or a touch fussy.”
If you want to grow a tree or a large shrub in a container, make sure to choose one that will be big enough to hold it as it grows so you won’t have to repot it in a few years. If there is enough room around the trunk, consider underplanting with low-growing grasses or adding some seasonal color to create interest.
