Amish Garden Planters

Amish garden planters are an excellent way to spruce up the look and feel of your yard or garden by adding the color and life that plants and flowers offer. The natural look of our Amish garden planters blends perfectly with many plant and flower varieties. The natural wood color of the southern yellow pine separates our Amish garden planters from many plastic and more “colorful” garden planters and lawn ornaments, that some may consider less tasteful.

The Amish garden planters we offer range in size and sophistication. The small sized Log Flower Basket is the most compact Amish planter we offer. The Log Flower Basket is the perfect size and design for someone wanting to add a small touch of plant or flower life without adding much size and design distraction. On the other end of the spectrum, we have our Garden Cart Planters, and Buckboard Planters. These varieties are for the serious container planter who is looking to not only add a large array and quantity of plant or flower life to their yard or garden, but is also seeking a supplement of garden décor and style.

The types of plants that can grow in a garden planter or container are limitless. Small bushes, flowers, plants or vegetables are ideal. Only a few plants are not suitable if they are the type that might require cross pollination from other plants nearby, such as corn. Vine plants, pumpkins, or squash are fun to grow in garden planters if you place the planter above on a porch or deck because you can watch the vines grow down.

You must consider the size of your garden planter when selecting the plant species. Larger plants will need larger garden planters. A few plants don’t like to be root bound, so be sure to check with your local nursery before purchasing a plant for your garden planter.

Here are a few other points to consider for your Amish garden planter. Plants in garden planters and containers tend to dry out faster, and need to be watered more frequently. Don’t crowd plants since there is a limited amount of nutrients and available in the planter. Adding fertilizer regularly will ensure nutrient levels in the soil don’t get depleted. Most of all have fun! Owning a garden planter can be a rewarding experience.
