Happy Weekend Everyone! Here’s a really easy project that will make quite the statement in your garden! A DIY flower tower!

Instead of a flower tower you could also make it a vegetable tower. It’s really like a big strawberry planter – so you could do strawberries/lettuce/herbs or a mixture of things. As long as they all have the same soil and watering requirements they should all live happily together. This is great space saver and an example of gardening vertically!
DIY Flower Tower
Supplies:
- 4 ft of galvanized wire fencing (less if you make it smaller)
- tin snips
- zip ties

I love the idea of a flower tower. I may have to make one for my patio! Thanks for sharing the instructions. You always inspire me to do something special!

Great idea – especially for someone with limited space – thanks for sharing.
Have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
Great idea and so pretty:) Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful!!
That is just the coolest thing! I think it would be pretty for flowers, but so so practical for veggies!
(Yeah, I know. You are reading this and thinking, “Debbie is never going to get that sucker off the ground. She can’t grow veggies in a raised bed for goodness sake. “
That would take a lot of plants! I hope that you keep us up to date. This could eliminate the need for a traditional herb garden.
I don’t plan on making this planter. This is a DIY Saturday featured post in which I feature DIY ideas that I find that I think would be helpful to people.
Love it!
Guess what my sweet hubby did for me for mother’s day? A flower tower in red and white!
No way! I hope you have a chance to take a photo of it as I’d love to see it (I’m sure everyone would love to see it)!
What fun to sit down & catch up on reading my blogs this afternoon & find this post! My son built a flower tower for me on Friday for Mother’s Day – I didn’t even have to ask for one – he knows me very well. I finished polanting it with impatiens this afternoon & can’t wait for it to fill in.
If it holds together well, I may fill it with sedums eventually, I think that would be really pretty too.
What a great gift! I think sedums would be spectacular!
Very cool. I need to make one, when the sun comes out ;-P
