Make a plant stand

The perfect vertical solution for small spaces

If you lack planting space or want to create a garden feature using potplants, think vertical.

Zigi says...

This plant stand looks like a miniature version of the stands where the local team plays each week. It’s a clever way to create a herb or vegetable garden in a small area. Use treated wood – the slightly greenish wood that builders use for scaffoldin­g and roof trusses. Not only is it considerab­ly cheaper than other wood but it will also withstand the elements for much longer. Although we painted ours a lovely duck-egg blue, paint is not really necessary, and neither is varnish.
