LADDER HERB GARDEN
6 Materials
$15
1 Day
Easy
View materials (6)
I’m pretty obsessed with ladders right now. I have blanket ladders in almost
ever room of my house. I recently made a potting bench out of old pallets and
had a leftover portion of a pallet that resembled a ladder! It was far too rough
to be used in the house, but it was too rustic chic to not be taken advantage
of! I’ve gotten into herbs lately, and though my green thumb is still young in
its development, I decided this would be the cutest little ladder garden! This
ladder would be quite easy to duplicate if you don’t happen to have a pallet
ladder just laying around! I’ll go over that here as well! This is the perfect
little garden if you are limited on the amount of green space you have
available! You really could plant just about anything in here you wanted,
flowers outdoors, house plants indoors, herbs inside or out! I love how
versatile this is!
Pallet "ladder" prior to modifications
Supplies: (if you have a wooden ladder handy)
-ladder
-oblong or rectangle plastic planters
-spray paint if you don’t love the color of the planter already
-potting soil
-herbs or plants of choice
-wood screws
-drill with acre driving bits
if building the ladder :
-2x4 cedar or presssure treated for the legs
-1x4 cedar or pressure treated for the rungs
To build the ladder cut the 2 2x4s to whatever height you choose, mine is 6 foot
tall, if you can use one board for the 2 of them that works too! Then cut the
rungs from your 1x4s at 12 inches each, you want them to be about a 10-12” apart
so cut as many as you can fit on yours. Attach each 1x4 board to the top of the
2 x4s to create your ladder!
Dollar tree for the win! comp item link below
I got my planters from the dollar tree! They were a terra-cotta color, which
wasn’t my taste so I gave them 2 coats of white spray paint. Make sure they have
adequate drainage, mine required that I drill holes in them. Was quick and easy,
but if you get the dollar tree planters, go slow, they crack easily!
TRENDING VIDEOS
Faux terra-cotta had to go!
Once they are dry it’s time to attach them! I attached each with 3 -1 inch wood
screws.
Time to plant! Add potting soil to each planter and add in your plants of
choice! All my herbs were rooted clippings that I water propagated, it was a
super fun little science project with my little helper seen in these project
photos! I’ll post a tutorial soon on how to water propagate and a few neat
decorative ways to do it! Hopefully these little plant babies will thrive now
that they are planted!
I recruited a little helper for the lower pot
They would also be super cute with lables!
And that’s it! You now have your own little herb garden without having to have a
lot of space to do it!

Did you put washers on each side of the planter box where the screw went in?
You said they crack easily, so I would think when it’s full of dirt and
water, they will snap right off from the weight on a tiny plastic hole.

Very nice but how do you reach the top ones to water and harvest?

Wht not space the rungs on the ladder to accommodate the planter boxes and
just seat them on the rungs for better support? The weight of the filled
boxes would hold them in place. Gravity works, no screws, no cracks

I agree with Virginia. The rungs need to be the supports for the boxes. And
if this is in the sun some of the time, look for the plastic to become baked
and become brittle with time. So when adding water one day, you can expect
them to break at the screw hole. If it HAPPENS that the top one breaks first,
then expect them to tumble down like dominoes as weight gets added quickly as
they cascade down. And what a mess to clean up on that beautiful front porch.

I used a pallet to make this and didn’t modify it at all, but if building
from scratch that’d be a great idea. I ended up moving it to the garden, it
lasted a few years before a storm blew it over and took it out

I have a skid and several tin/metal planters pots. think I will use it and di
this. Thank for the idea. Now to figure out how to keep the neighborhood
ground hog from eating them. Maybe I will hang it up on the side of garage or
attach it 2/4 inside cemented old pot. 🤔 🤔 pictures later. Thanks for
getting my creative juices. Now come on spring/summer . Northeast Ohio we
have a short growing season. No warm spring. .
