A Quick and Stylish DIY Tiered Planter

If you’ve been visiting me over at Suburble, you’ll know that gardening has become quite the obsession of mine lately. I’ve been digging in the dirt and scratching my head over where on earth to plant my little “babies” in the earth, and this has led to some really fun projects. I love having lots of color on the patio, and an interesting DIY planter is a fun way to catch the eye of your guests. When I thought of making a tiered planter, I immediately remembered the wreath stand that I love so much (and often use all year round). I grabbed it and a pail, and suddenly, a tiered DIY planter was born!

Tiered-DIY-Planter-Darice-1Tiered DIY Planter Supplies:

  • Darice Standing Metal Wreath Hanger
  • Darice Tin Pail with Handle
  • Large Planter
  • Potting Soil
  • Cordless Drill with Drill Bit
  • Flowers (A small trailing plant works well for the top bucket.)

This hanging stand is so versatile. It can be used in all sorts of wonderful ways in the garden, but I knew that I wanted it to live in a planter.

I quickly drilled five holes into the bottom of the pail. Now keep in mind, smaller containers dry out faster, so consider asking for a drought-resistant plant when you visit the nursery. Otherwise, just make sure that your plants get lots of drinks over the summer.

Tiered-DIY-Planter-Darice-3I buried the wreath stand in a planter full of soil. The base keeps the stand from falling over – I simply buried it under the dirt. I filled the pail full of potting soil as well.

Tiered-DIY-Planter-Darice-4After that, it’s as easy as planting your flowers (in this case, petunias and ivy) into the DIY planter and giving it a healthy water!

Tiered-DIY-Planter-Darice-5I chose a trailing ivy because I love the romantic look of it, and it does lend itself to the cascading look I was going after.

Tiered-DIY-Planter-Darice-6Ivy is perennial (and somewhat invasive, so it does better in planters), so it will come back year after year. The petunias are annuals and will only last this year, but that allows me to change things up next year!

Tiered-DIY-Planter-Darice-7Tiered-DIY-Planter-Darice-8I love the way this looks on the patio, and it’s giving me even more ideas. What about strawberries? Or succulents? What would you plant in your tiered pots?
