2. Build Rustic Plant Stands from Wooden Pallets
Wooden pallets are frequently given away for free behind hardware stores and construction sites. They are a goldmine for DIY enthusiasts looking to craft sturdy, rustic garden furniture and decor without spending a dime.
How to Create It
Sand down any rough edges of a clean wooden pallet to prevent splinters. You can lean the pallet vertically against a fence to use as a vertical herb garden, or take it apart to build custom tiered plant stands. Seal the wood with an outdoor weatherproof varnish to protect it from the elements, and hang small terracotta pots from the slats using metal hose clamps.
