Equipment

  • Hammer and ½" nails or heavy duty stapler
  • Screw gun and ½" screws

Ingredients

  • Pallet
  • Plywood for backing
  • Outdoor spray paint such as Krylon Colormaster Indoor/Outdoor Aerosol Paint Satin
  • Top soil and plants

Instructions

  • Remove every other slat on the pallet to make more room for planting. (Skip this step if you're planting very small plants).
  • Remove or pound in any loose nails and discard.
  • Secure the landscaping paper to the back of the pallet using nails or heavy duty stapler.
  • Add a thin sheet of plywood to the back of the pallet and secure with screws.
  • Position the pallet on top of two saw horses. Brush off any dirt to prepare it for painting.
  • Spray paint and let dry. Repeat a second coat if needed.
  • Fill the pallet with top soil.
  • Plant the flowers and let the garden settle for 24 hours before moving.
  • Using two people (this will be heavy!), move the pallet into position, tilted against a secure wall or fence.
  • Water as needed and enjoy!
