Free-Standing Strawberry Garden w/ Hanging Planters

May 23, 2017 by Bethany Sy

Nick and I have always TALKED about planting a strawberry garden. And lately, the girls have been asking about growing strawberries. So this year, it was meant to be!

Supplies for Hanging Strawberry Garden

  • 10 foot 4×4 cedar board
  • 14” Hanging Baskets
  • Iron Brackets (lots to choose from here, but we used these that come in a two-pack)
  • Strawberries!
  • EcoScraps potting soil
  • Solar post caps
  • Post hole digger

 

First things first, dig a hole! Our post hole digger make this pretty darn simple. We used it when we installed our DIY Mailbox Post too! Find the nearest burly man to show off his muscles. *wink!*

Dig your hole 36-48” deep, throw in some gravel and put the post in, then more gravel around the edges (not pictured), then dirt! As you’re filling in the dirt around the edges, check things with a level here and there to make sure it’s going in straight.

Time to load up the strawberries! We snagged a bag of EcoScraps from Lowes, and love that their company diverts food waste from landfills, and recycles it into organic, sustainable soil and plant foods. You had me at organic! #growgardensnotlandfills!

Even if you’ve already seen this video, watch it again because it’s HILARIOUS.

Start loading up your hanging planters with soil and strawberries! I ended up evenly spacing 5 strawberry plants around the perimeter of the planter, and then plopped on directly in the center.

Before throwing these onto our free-standing planter post, I decided to make a little sign to further customize! #youknowME

    This is exactly what I want except I want flowers for mine. I am sure I would kill strawberries. Flowers, I can grow. Fruits and vegies; not so much! I would have to talk my husband into digging the hole which might be the hardest part of the project! Yours is so darn cute with the sign on it. You are one talented lady with that scroll saw! Thanks for sharing!
