DIY- Transform Your Small Space: Create a Stunning Vertical Garden with a DIY Stacked Planter Tower!

Materials Needed:

• Three or more plastic planters of decreasing size
• Potting soil
• Variety of plants like herbs, strawberries, or lettuce
• Drill (optional for drainage holes)

Instructions:

1. Select Planters: Choose planters that can nest within each other when stacked. Make sure they have drainage holes; if not, use a drill to add them.
2. Fill with Soil: Fill the largest pot with soil, making sure to have an indention in the center to place the next pot.
3. Stack the Planters: Begin from the largest pot at the bottom and work your way up. Stack each planter, filling with soil as you go, ensuring each one is securely placed.
4. Plant Selection: Plant herbs, leafy greens, or flowers in the soil. Consider mixing trailing plants on the edge of each planter for a cascading effect.
5. Watering: Water the plants thoroughly and position your planter tower in an area that gets appropriate sunlight for your chosen plants.

This project not only maximizes vertical space but also adds a beautiful, layered green element to small patios or balconies. Enjoy your gardening!
