Terra Cotta Tiered Flower Pot

This was an beautiful concept; however, the way that they wanted to complete the project was a little more different then how I felt was necessary. This is a beautiful way in which you can displace flowers in your front yard or deck and it now be the typical look. I believe that this project could go either way; follow the directions provided with the pin or follow my directions. My directions is good for 3 tiers & their directions is good for more than 3.

Materials

• Terra Cotta Planter Pots
• Flowers
• River Rock/Bricks
• Planting Soil
• Flowers

What I Did

In the largest pot, build up the middle of the pot with a solid base. I used river rocks that I had left over from the river rock tray project, so I used those. You can use bricks that are cut in half or even staggered up until you have the height in which you want the second pot to sit on the the bottom pot. Since I used river rocks, I have to do this in layers; river rocks down, soil around the rocks, river rocks down, soil around the rocks, and repeat until you get the the height you want. At this point, you would cover the last part of the river rocks with the soil and mark where the next flower pot will go, so that you can plant the flowers around the edges. 

At this point, it is just a repeat what you did for the previous Terra Cotta pot, except, on a smaller level. For the last pot, you to not need to add the river rocks and you can just plant you flowers. 

Afterwards, place it where you believe it will the correct amount of sunlight that is required for the flowers that you used for this project.

Conclusion

A beautiful spring project that takes less than 2 hours and will give your garden a new looks. And if you want the kids to get involved in the project, have the paint the Terra Cotta pot prior to planting.
