Here in Michigan, spring is on it’s way!  When I was out shopping this weekend, all the potted flowers were calling my name.

So…I went looking and found DIY outdoor planter ideas, ready to inspire!!!

You will just love the creativity–so many clever and darling ideas! Most of these are for planting flowers, but I found a couple really fun ideas for gardens that I added those too.

DIY Outdoor Planter Ideas

Washtub Planter

Here’s an idea using an old washtub!  I made it a several years ago, and it’s still one of my favorite things for my back porch. It’s also really versatile–I plant flowers in the spring, then pile it high with pumpkins in the fall.  LOVE.

Polka Dotted Tiered Planters

I love all things polka dot! These are so adorable, and brighten up this space.
 
 

Planter Box

This is an idea that can be both indoor and outdoor. I can also imagine this on a patio table, or on a front porch.
 
 
 

DIY Garden Planter & Bird Bath

I had to include this idea, because it was just so unique and creative! 

Mason Jar Planter Box

Mason jars are my favorite, and again, this idea can work outdoors as well.  
 

A Wooden Pallet Garden

 
Such a great way to use pallets!!  
 
 

Strainer Hanging Planter

If you don’t love the chrome, you can always spray paint it. I think a matte black would be so cute–or even a color if you like that.

The tiers are such a cute idea!

 
 

Jute Webbing Planter

 
I love jute, and I don’t know that I would have thought of it for a planter, but it sure is cute.

  1. My wife and I are really into gardening. We’re always looking for new ideas to make our garden a little bit more unique. I think those tiered planters you posted pictures of are a really great way to do that. That’s definitely going to be our next project in the yard this spring. You really gave us some good ideas. Thanks!

    1. You are so welcome! I’m glad you found some ideas to try. Thanks so much for stopping by!!

  2. These are some really great planter ideas! That canvas shoe holder one especially, I’ve got two of those just sitting around. And I’m always looking for things to do with shipping pallets, so I may have to try that one too> Thanks so much for writing!

  3. Whether you love gardening or not, plants makes everything look cuter. I really love the planter designs and ideas. I am kinda obsessed and looking forward to that mason planter idea, also that rustic planter from lemon tree creations. Thanks a lot for sharing these planter inspirations.
