Planter Projects GARDENING PROJECTS: A 2016 Year in Review

When we decided to dust off our hand shovels and recreate gardening projects we had seen on Pinterest or created with the help of Do-It-Yourself experts, we had no idea the amount of fun we would have! Each of our 2016 gardening projects utilized one of Southern Patio’s durable, decorative planters, some plants, and a whole lot of imagination! Here is what we accomplished this year:

Here’s What You’ll Need to Get Started

Southern Patio Planters

We Built a Spilled Garden

This concept was a hot ticket this past summer on Pinterest. We saw a ton of projects that consisted of a planter on its side with flowers spilling out of it.

For this, we used the 22.5″ Kentucky Walnut Whiskey Barrel and some multi-colored mums.

We Mastered Vertical Gardening

Using the 24″ Fern Rolled Rim Window Box, and with the help of DIY Guru Chelsea Lipford Wolf, we created a tiered container garden perfect for any deck space.

We Built a Home for Dinosaurs

A take on the traditional fairy garden idea, this dinosaur creation uses Southern Patio’s 16″ Sydney Bowl in Irish Cream. And…a few miniature giants, of course.

We Created a Pumpkin-Mum-Whiskey Barrel Topiary

Using the 22.5″ Rustic Oak Whiskey Barrel, we built a towering container garden filled with mums and plastic pumpkins.

And...We said "Happy Holidays"

We used the 12″ Light Terracotta Newbury Planters to create the perfect gift for the gardener.
