POTTED PALLET GARDEN
Everyone loves the look of an upcycled pallet, but sometimes heavy pallet gardens can be hard to relocate. If you’re like me and prefer to move your plants around your garden throughout the year, this potted pallet garden is a great option. Not only is it lighter in weight than a typical pallet garden, but your pots can be rotated, giving your plants even sun exposure to keep them from stretching toward the sun.
WHAT YOU NEED
- Galvanized Steel Hanger Tape
- Terra Cotta Pots
- Tin Snips
- Measuring Tape
- Pencil or Pen
- Pallet
- Drill and Screws
WHAT TO DO
- Wrap your hanger tape around one of your terra cotta pots until it overlaps by one or two holes.
- Cut the hanger tape with your tin snips.
- Use your first cut piece of hanger tape as a guide to cut additional pieces. Cut a piece for each pot you want to hang.
- Use your measuring tape and pencil or pen to mark on the pallet where you want to place your pots.
- Wrap each cut piece of hanger tape into a circle.
- Place a screw through the overlapping hole.
- Screw your hanger tape rings onto the pallet.
- Place your pots into the hanger tape rings and then plant your succulents, or vice versa.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Place your pallet in an area of your garden that receives bright but indirect sunlight and a few hours of direct sunlight throughout the day. You may want to remove your pots when watering to avoid muddy water dripping onto your lower plants.
TIP!
Customize your pallet garden by painting your pallet or your pots.
