Have you had your head in the clouds lately wondering how good it would look to repurpose old branches and turn them into a nice-looking Raised Garden Bed? Your curiosity and raised planter beauty rejuvenating our planet are on the right track with these bright DIY projects.
How to Shop for Ingredients
When you’re shopping for supplies for your outdoor raised planter, keep in mind that you can find all of the materials you need at local hardware or home improvement stores. Here are some tips to help you get started:
-Start by sorting through all of the branches that you have lying around your house. Make a list of the types of plants that you would like to grow in your planter, and then start picking out branches that are compatible with those plants.
-Be sure to take into account the width and height of each branch. Branches that are too short or too wide will cause problems when they’re installed in your planter.
-Once you have a pile of branches sorted according to species, size and compatibility, it’s time to start shopping. Hardware stores usually carry a wide variety of plant ties and garden wire, so be sure to ask for help if you don’t know what you’re looking for.
-Finally, make sure that all of your supplies are packaged appropriately before you head out to the store. Planters can get heavy, so make sure that everything is placed safely before hitting the shelves.
Gather supplies of old branches, ribbon, soil, and semi-terpenes
If you’re like me, you love looking at beautiful plants in person but don’t have a lot of space to grow them. One solution is to make a raised planter using old branches. Simply gather supplies like old branches, ribbon, soil, and semi-terpenes and follow these simple steps:
- Cut the old branches into small pieces that will fit inside your planter. Make sure they are at least 3 inches long and 1 inch wide.
- Fill the planter with enough soil to cover the roots of the branches. Make sure the root ball is level and give it a little water to settle in.
- Take some ribbon and tie it around the stem of each branch. Make sure the ribbon is tight against the bark but not so tight that it cuts off the oxygen supply to the roots.
- Leave your planter in a sunny spot for a few weeks to encourage growth. Once it has grown flowers or berries, you can move it into a darker spot to maintain its colour.
The Process:
Making a raised planter is a simple project that can be completed in just a few hours. All you need is an old branch and some soil. If you have access to a saw, you can also make the planter out of wood. There are many different ways to make the planter, so choose what works best for you.
Step 1: Cut the old branch into a rough shape using a saw or your hands. Be sure to leave enough extra material so that you can sand and paint it later.
Step 2: Fill the cavity left by the cut branch with soil. If you are using a raised planter made from wood, use screws or nails to secure the soil in place. If using a concrete or metal frame, simply fill it with soil until it reaches the top of the frame.
Step 3: Paint or seal your new raised planter in whichever way suits your needs. Consider adding Victorian ivy or other plants to complete your project.

Fill the holes with soil
If you have some old branches that you don’t want to go to waste, you can use them to create a raised planter. This project is simple and easy to do, and it looks great in any garden.
First, find a spot in your garden where you want to put the planter. Make sure that the branch tips are pointing in the direction in which you want the plants to grow.
Now, remove the bark from the branch tips by rubbing them with a piece of cloth or a sandpaper strip. This will make it easier to insert the branches into the holes that you’ve created.
Insert one branch into each hole, making sure that the tip is pointing down. Then fill each hole with soil and water the plants. Now your planter is ready to be used!
