If you are wondering what to add to your garden, beautiful and easy to DIY, here are some amazing gabion planter ideas.

My first lovely gabion planter is constructed with simplistic design.

Sometimes we dwell on how to decorate the outside spaces of our homes, but when it comes to making a choice – simple decors are always on the right track.

Follow me as I present to you another lovely garden decoration.

Gardens are the places that we can turn something simple into a unique treasured piece of our garden.

It is no coincidence that gabion planters are perfect guests in the midst of spring. They are found in the yards of people who are gentle, caring and loving.

Stones bring tranquility, peace and remind us of the generousness of the Earth.

All thing beautiful are alive, they make us joyous. First you need to prepare the metal net in the shape you would like it to be, so that it will be easier then to put the soil and plant. Or you can buy some gabion planter baskets.

It is quite common with gabions to find one that has a rectangular shape.

The soil is protected and kept inside at its highest quality. The stones also separate it from the outside influences like wind, insects or other guests that are not welcome.

The best feature of all is that the plants have plenty of space and air to grow.

I always suggest getting a planter that can store the plants on a higher level than the ground. It’s like a raised flower bed, which you can DIY.

It would be much easier to arrange it without bending too much. Perfect for people suffering of back pain.
