Got a broken dresser or maybe you’ve seen a discarded set of drawers on the street? Those drawers can serve as beautiful planters on your porch!
Simply restore those old drawers, add some table legs and you’re drawer planters are ready to accommodate your pretty blooms! You can even use an entire dresser if you have one that you aren’t using anymore.
Plastic bins are made from 100% new Polypropylene material (PP) and are food safe (BPA free, lead free, mercury free).
Repaint the drawers with bright colors so they stand out in your yard. Or you can strip down old, existing paint and apply wood stain for a rustic wooden drawer planter! Your imagination and creativity is the only limit. OK, so they won’t last forever before they start to rot, but you’ll get lots of pleasure from them before that happens :)
Be inspired by viewing our gallery of old drawer planters below!
