As long as we’re talking about planters I thought it would be a great time to take a look at more planter and garden-bed inspiration. When I’m feeling a little burned out on gardening I love to dig up inspiring images to get me excited about working in the yard again. Here are some images of planters that are inspiring me lately:

Since we are using the square foot gardening method right now this planter is especially appealing. It would be easy to organize your plants and by adding an extra level you increase the visual interest simply by taking advantage of vertical space.

Looking at more vertical planters I came across this unique idea. I can imagine that this style of planter would make harvesting your vegetables or taking flower clippings extra easy while creating high visual impact.

Galvanized stock tanks add a striking metallic element to your outdoor space.

These standard raised beds make a statement and definitely have me rethinking our unfinished boards. I may have to paint them after all.

This concrete raised bed could definitely be DIY’d and do double duty by providing extra seating for outdoor entertaining. I also love that it defines the beautiful wood fence and brings a modern edge to the space.

For a more traditional look this bed would be right at home in a cottage garden and has a rustic charm to it that I find especially appealing. I may try this stacked stone method in our front yard garden beds some day.

This galvanized steel and stained wood planter is a style that could work in a variety of spaces. It would look beautiful on a modern patio or set in a rural backyard (can’t you see it alongside a chicken coop?)

So what is inspiring you in the garden? Do any of these planters belong in your yard? I am excited to take another look at my modest little wooden raised bed and see if painting it is something I want to tackle. You can find more inspiration on my Pinterest boards HERE.
