Owning a garden is one of the things that bring happiness and contentment to many homeowners. Whether you are a pro or a novice green thumb, plants and flowers can bring so much joy. Walking through a lush garden teeming with plants and flowers is like going on a mini-vacation…in your own home! But if you are running out of garden space, or have very little space to begin with, you can still garden…fence offer a great way to do it. Fence planters can fill unused vertical space with plants and flowers, and plain fences can get colorful and fragrant make-overs with fence planters. These planters can elevate your garden of blooms and aromatic herbs from the ground up to eye (and nose) level. It would also make for a stunning living privacy wall. There are many styles and designs to choose from whether DIY or custom made. Below are some examples of fence planter ideas that could transform your yard in delightful ways.
DIYing your own planters is so much fun. With a lot of creativity, you can make use of some long-forgotten but readily available item from your home. A shoe organizer, for example, is a lovely alternative for a pocket herb garden — just attach to a fence, add potting soil, plant your herbs, and voilà — from the garden to your plate! Hanging flower baskets, available in many gardening stores, are excellent for creating colorful cascading displays of geraniums and petunias. You can also build shelves from salvaged wood pallets or have built-in planters on a tall fence for your succulents. How about adding a trellis for crawlers and flowering vines, or a living wall with an irrigation system (no need to water!) for an eco-friendly green privacy screen. Let your imagination run free, some of these fence planter ideas are easy-peasy!
So let’s head out and smell the flowers…hope you enjoy your stroll outdoors! Beautiful day to you!
1. Living Wall…

Low-cost and ingenious, the living wall is a self- sustaining system with a drip irrigation structure concealed behind the wooden wall, no need to water! Also, this urban garden oasis makes use of salvaged materials like packing crates, wooden pallets, and reclaimed wood. A live edge dining table with raw and natural beauty sits in front of a low partition made of mismatched wood planks. Notice the buckets and tin cans doubling as flower pots and planters? Repurposing 101.
2. Pockets of Herbs…
The Little Plus: the shoe organizer transformed into a thriving vertical herb garden. Creating an herb highrise is as easy as filling the organizer with potting soil and planting your favorite herbs in the pouches. Easy peasy! Food prep is made easy when you have a hanging garden of goodness right outside your kitchen door. Time to prepare mom’s pesto sauce, aurevoir!
3. Pallet Shelving…
The Little Plus: the repurposed wood plant shelf. An uncomplicated project even for a first time DIYer by using half of a pallet board, a few deck screws, and lots of energy. Forget-me-nots and vibrant red wool flowers brighten up the wood space with its pops of color. And that old (repurposed!) pan is definitely a bird feeder – get ready for the bird singing concert!

The lattice and arch details dress up the fence and make a compatible pairing to the sweet flowers in abundance.
