This DIY project is perfect for anyone looking to add a bit of green to their space, even if you don’t have a big garden. Plus, it’s a great feeling to know you made it all by yourself! So, let’s get started and bring your dream of a hanging herb garden to life.

Materials Required for the Hanging Herb Garden

  • Organizer boxes purchased from a Dollar Store
  • Wood Stain
  • Clear Coat Finish
  • Spray Paint
  • Construction Adhesive
  • 1/4″ Plywood

Tools Required

  • Drill
  • Saw (a table saw would do, but any type should work)

Recipe for Crafting Your DIY Hanging Herb Garden

Preparing Your Wooden Boxes

Layout Planning: Start by pulling out six-dollar store boxes. Decide on your planter’s layout. Possibilities include arranging them all on one large board or a skinny vertical board. We decided to place them on two small boards, each carrying three boxes.

Perfect Spacing: After determining the spacing, we cut the boards to 6″ by 16″. This is provided two inches above each box and on each side.

Enhancing the Appearance

Drilling and Staining: We drilled holes in the bottom of the boxes (for drainage purposes when filled with plants) and stained them with an aesthetically appealing white stain.

Varnishing the Boxes: Once the stain was perfectly dry, we moved on to further shield the boxes with several layers of polyacrylic for added protection.

Coloring the Plywood: As for the plywood boards behind the boxes, opting for a contrasting white finish seemed ideal. To ensure outdoor safety, a suitable white primer was used.

Final Touches

Attaching the Boxes to the Board: Due to the thinness of our backing board, using screws wasn’t an option. For those choosing a thicker backing board, you could simply screw the boxes in. We went with a robust construction adhesive to anchor the boxes to the backboard.

Ready to Hang: Lastly, we drilled holes into the top corners of the backing boards, readying them for hanging. Once everything was securely set, the herb planters were hung on a fence for a charming outdoor display.
