A few chair planter ideas!
I know I said I was trying to patient this spring.
Like, I’m holding off on the mulch & mowing the yard & all of that.
But…I have a confession:
Honestly, a lot of it had to do with getting them out of my basement! We’re trying to clear out our basement & the chair planters were taking up space, so we moved them outside. Of course, I didn’t have to place them in the yard. I could have hid them behind the house or something?! But, here they are, all naked & flowerless out in the yard! I probably look like that person who just can’t wait! Aaand that’s what I am!
Anyway, I thought I’d do a little post today on chair planters, since I have mine out already!
These pictures are from a couple years ago, but I thought it would be fun to look at them & get inspired for what is to come!
Let’s start with the traditional chair planter:
The trick for the traditional planter is to pick really bushy flowers that overflow the chair.
These chairs are from my mom’s garden & I just love them! They’re a work of art! The flowers overflow the chair perfectly!
Now, I kind of missed the memo with the overflowing part! I usually do my flowers independently & just stick them on top of my chairs! I love using old sap buckets for my planters! Since they take so much soil, I’ve been putting stone in the bottom of them & filling it the rest of the way up with soil. They’re also not blowing all over the yard that way!
I also found a set of these awesome goose planters at a yard sale that I’ve been displaying in various ways. Here’s one on top of one of the chairs:
Another idea is to find a planter that fits in the chair & go from there! I like this idea my mom did a couple years ago:
I can’t wait to get to the greenhouse & pick out flowers for my planters/chairs!
I think I might attempt the overflowing chairs this year because I have a couple chairs missing their seats!
