In addition to a cool shipping pallet table, we found another great DIY at Urban Garden Center: a concrete block planter (below). We’d seen images of them before like the one above that houses succulents and at this Pinterest devoted solely to concrete block gardens. The basic idea holds lots of possibilities, some rough, some curiously sleek.

We like the idea of sort of brutalist/modernist raised bed:

One thought on “Concrete Block Planters and Raised Beds

  1. One of the advantages of concrete block planters is that they can protect the plants from bad weather but moving them to another place is really a trouble! However, I still love making them for my garden!
