Container gardening and planter boxes are a great way to garden and bring beautiful blooms into your yard and home space and today I am sharing 10 amazing planter ideas that you won't want to miss.

Hello Simply Designing readers!
I'm April, from House by Hoff, and I am so excited to be Ashley's monthly round-up contributor! {Doesn't that sound so official?}
I am a mom to one super-cute 18 month old girl, wife to my high-school sweetheart, and I am attempting to live a stylish and fabulous life in a one-income household.  It can be a challenge, but I think I've managed just fine, thankyouverymuch!
Now that we've been introduced, I'd like to share my first roundup with you!
The topic?  Planter Ideas!

10 Amazing Planter Ideas

When it comes to outdoor planting, I confess, I've been a bit of a slacker.
I go to great pains to decorate the inside of my house, and I think, in years past, I have just lost my mojo when it comes to decorating outdoors.
I have vowed to myself that this year will be different.  Let's get inspired, shall we?

    many wonderful ideas on container planting.<br />Me, I like using old BBQ grills to plant my herbs in. If they have wheels, you can move them around or put them by your front or back door for easy excess if you need to take a snip of a fresh herb here and there.<br />ColleenB.<br />Texas
