Are you looking to add a unique decorative touch to your garden? Do you have an old wheelbarrow that’s been gathering dust in your shed that you would like to repurpose?
Well, look no further! I’ll be sharing a group of inspiring and whimsical wheelbarrow planter ideas that will give your outdoor space a decorative lift.
In this collection, there is a wheelbarrow planter to suit all tastes and gardening preferences. Whether you prefer a vintage-inspired look, a whimsical arrangement, or a modern look, you’ll find inspiration for your next gardening project.
I have been looking for just the right old fashioned wheelbarrow for months. I want to add one as a focal piece in my perennial garden beds.
I am always on the lookout for new and unusual ideas for eco-friendly planters. Since wheelbarrows are an often used garden tool, recycling them into planters just makes sense.
Knowing that these creative garden projects have been recycled from common household items makes them very appealing to me. Recycling is a small step that we can all take to protect the environment at home.
Many of these planters have a cottage garden appeal and will fit into my garden beds in just the right way.
Why use a recycled wheelbarrow?
Not only are these wheelbarrow planters visually appealing, but they also offer quite a few practical benefits. They can be easily moved around, which will allow you to experiment with different garden layouts or to relocate your plants based on their sunlight requirements.
Additionally, wheelbarrow planters are useful for those with physical limitations. They can function as a small raised garden bed, making gardening more accessible for those with limited mobility.
These DIY wheelbarrow planter ideas are also useful for those who have small spaces in which to garden.
Planting in a wheelbarrow is easy. The well of the wheelbarrow is deep so it will hold a multitude of plants and your garden hose is likely quite nearby for watering purposes.
The best plants for a wheelbarrow planter are those which can take the heat. Succulents, and annuals are good choices.
