here is 16 beautiful planter ideas to beautify your garden. They are easy and original. Look :

1. In a fairy garden

2. On a ladder

3. In bird perch

This planter will delight neighborhood birds while adding an extra touch of greenery to your home. In short, everyone is happy :-)

4. In a vertical planter

Don't have a lot of room outside? Then this easy to make homemade vertical planter is the solution for you. In addition, it allows you to preserve your privacy vis-à-vis your neighbors. Discover the tutorial.

5. On an old banister

This homemade planter is easier to make (and much cheaper) than it looks. Just take an old stair railing, attach some planter hooks to the wall, and then fill the planters with the herbs and succulents of your choice. Discover the tutorial.

6. On a pallet

Secure terra cotta pots to pallets with nails and stainless steel clamps. There you go, a super nice way to display your rosemary and basil while having them close at hand. Remember to space the pots so that the plants have room to grow.

7. On shutters

Lay shutters (old or new) against an exterior wall and fill in the slits with sturdy plants like succulents or mosses. Although succulents are very hardy, place them in the shade of your home to help them live longer.

8. Shaped initial

Create a signature-shaped flowerpot by re-using a cardboard letter. To do this, cut one side of the hollow initial, line it with plastic, then fill it with soil and add small flowers such as pansies or daisies. Remember to drill holes in the base to let excess water drain out.

9. On a shoe organizer

Hang an old canvas shoe organizer either on a fence gate or on a wall. Then fill the compartments with soil before planting ferns or vines. And there you have it, your hanging garden is finished! Not bad, isn't it?

10. On a birdbath

Who would have believed it ? Hardy succulents that store water in their stems and leaves do well in shallow birdbaths. Pebbles not only retain more moisture in the soil, but they also add a little desert side.

11. All over the terrace

Green your patio or your exterior by installing huge terracotta, steel or plastic planters overflowing with all kinds of plants, from tomatoes to wild flowers.

Don't be afraid to think big: add a wooden table made from pallets, an outdoor rug and colorful weatherproof furniture to create a space of total relaxation.

12. In climbing plants

Bring a plain patio wall to life with a sun-loving climbing plant like bougainvillea. Creeping plants balance the shrub below. A simple stake planted in the earth is all you will need.

13. Cascading pots

To create contrast and catch the eye, place terracotta planters on the stairs and fill them with quirky-shaped plants, pelargonium geraniums or agaves with their pointed, jagged leaves.

14. In aligned planters

Instead of waiting for the slowly maturing shrubs to provide some privacy, use giant planters to immediately create a green screen. These parallel rows of foliage simulate a focal point, inviting the gardener to move towards a secluded seating position.

15. In mismatched pots

A heterogeneous mix of varnished and graphic pots - some upside down, so that the heights are subtly staggered - creates a skilful harmony when brought together.

16. In a mixture of aromatic herbs

Here's proof that you can turn a bouquet of aromatic herbs into a stunning display on a patio porch. To do this, place various steel pots and tubs on a small table. All you have to do is collect your harvest!
