Every spring and summer I step into my yard and want to do a total makeover. However, with my budget, I usually end up just doing one small thing a season. My yard was feeling pretty drab and without much space to work with, I decided to take advantage of the vertical space that we DID have!
I’ve had this DIY idea in mind since last summer and I absolutely love how it tuned out, it really makes a difference in our yard!
Here is a before photo which is actually from last year before we built the planter box along this fence, yuck!
So the steps are super simple. Zander cooks a lot of pizza so we saved the cans that the tomatoes came in until we had enough. Remove the labels and then punch a few holes in the bottoms for drainage. You can also use little tin buckets.
Spray paint the outsides of the cans and let dry. I used a deep blue paint. Then spray at least the first inch of the insides, I went ahead and painted the full inside.
Once the paint is totally dry use screws to attach the cans to the fence.
We just eyeballed the positioning making sure to alternate heights.
Fill the cans about halfway with soil, then plant your desired flowers or herbs.
Water the plants and you are good to go!
And this is how it looks a month later, look at how big our tomato plant got!

Might look kinda cool to alternate sizes of cans and colors maybe blue w/ yellow speckles in the opposite ones in yellow with blue speckles for an example
What a cute idea. What size of cans did u use?
Thanks Pat! I forget what size in ounces but it’s the larger sized tomato can.
Maybe 25-28 ounces.
Or maybe a coffee can size
Thanks for this!! I never even thought about it! Will DEFINITELY do this!!
I love this idea! I think it would be great for strawberries. You could put water drip lines to keep them watered in the hottest part of the summer. What a great splash of color!
So super cute! Our new house has a huge fence and I planned on doing this as well, but wasn’t sold on a color until now. The blue is perfection!
It was SO hard for me to decide on the color, but I love how the blue turned out!
Love this! I shared it on Facebook the other day and it was a BIG hit! https://www.facebook.com/CraftsbyAmanda/photos/a.353593675216.349539.323548680216/10154297811235217/?type=1
thank you so much for sharing!
Tried something like this last year but with full sun and 105*+ temps all summer (Central CA) our plants didn’t stand a chance 🙁
They burned or the soil dried out faster than we could water them (daily basis). Any tips on how to improve that situation? I love the look!
We have not been through the hottest part of summer yet, so I hope this doesn’t happen! One flower has died so far but the others are fine. Try something that can handle a little less water, maybe even succulents or cacti!
try using what I call ever blooms aka as plastic flowers. Gives you color and the apperance of flowers without the having to water, deadhead, or weed. I use this in place getting real flowers to grow will not work.
Fill big 5 gallon buckets under them and put cotten rope from bucket to plant. Plant will absorb water as needed. It workes great for me when I have to leave town for a few days .
I love it! It definitely adds some colour to that fence, and the photos are lovely, too.
Linda a sua idéia e bem prática…..parabéns!!
What a cute idea! It definitely spruces up the backyard tons!
I love this idea, Ciera! Great work. I guess I need to get some outdoor space first…
