My neighbor Leigh built this amazing potted herb garden in her backyard and I asked her to share! She found a similar project at Ikea, but decided to DIY her own version. She’s pretty handy around the house, and if I ever needed a repair done she’s the first person I would call for help.
Materials:
2 landscaping timbers, cut to 6 feet each
1 6×2×12 board, cut into two 6 foot pieces
8 3 inch wood screws
10-20 screws (depending on type of pot rings)
10 7″ pots
10 6″ pot rings
Instructions:
Lay timbers on flat surface approximately 6 feet apart.
Lay 2×6 boards perpendicular over timbers approximately 3 feet apart.
Use screws to affix boards to timbers, 2 per board.
Prime and paint with preferred color (optional).
Once dry, layout and affix pot rings 5 per board, approximately 10″ apart.
Select garden location.
Dig two one foot post holes 5 1/2 feet apart.
Place structure into holes and use level to make sure structure is straight.
Pack dirt around post to secure (for more stability, you can use concrete).
Select herbs or flowers, plant in pots, place in rings and enjoy!
