Ladder planter

Vertical gardening is one of the most practical (and clever) solutions for small space gardening. Check out these vertical planters and DIY ideas plus learn what to plant in your new garden space.

Recently, people are getting crazy about vertical gardens on repurposed ladder shelves, as they not only save your space but also add beauty to your house. You will be amazed by the rustic charm this decorative plant ladder stand brings that will be an eye-catcher both on the terrace and in the garden.

I took this vintage ladder and attached pots to the rungs to create a DIY verticle ladder planter. A simple afternoon project that will add a fun and welcoming touch to your front porch or plant herbs in the pots for a backyard herb garden.

On an Iowa rooftop patio, wooden ladder planters (with zinc troughs) from A&B Home hold varieties that can handle the patio’s partial shade: pink and white wax begonias, ‘Wasabi’ coleus, Pentas ‘Butterfly Deep Rose’ and ‘Pink Crystals’ ruby grass.

I took an old wooden ladder, destined for the trash heap, and whitewashed it. Then I took some snow fence boards cut to size to create shelves. Added vintage enamel pans of various sizes, and other tins that caught my fancy at the antique store. Added flower pots and a few other different items of interest.

From quick and dirty hacks to all-out weekend projects, knock out a few of these do-it-yourself jobs and start spending more time on your little piece of patio paradise.
