Outdoor Plant Shelf to Organize the Outdoors

With the weather getting warmer, I have started to delve into my favorite hobby. Gardening brings peace to the mind and body, allowing me to soak up the sun while I bring life to little green plants. One of the best ways to add décor to your outdoor area while adding storage and display space is an outdoor plant shelf.

There are a variety of reasons that an outdoor plant shelf is the perfect spring accessory for your outdoor area. First of all, they look great, adding a touch of decor to the patio or yard. Rich finishes, solid wood construction and innovative designs make these shelves a great addition to any outdoor garden.

More than one reason to love an outdoor plant shelf!

Another great reason they are a perfect choice is that they provide a place for the plants to sit so they are not on the actual porch. Because plants need lots of water, and tend to retain and slowly releasing it, this can cause damage to the porches wood surfaces, whether through rotting or warping. With the planters up on the outdoor plant shelf, there is no need to worry about damage to the porch or patio.

Lastly, an outdoor plant shelf provides a great place to do your actual potting. If you do it on the porch, you end up with a bunch of soil or even worse, fertilizer all over the place. Getting stinky fertilizer out of the cracks between planks is quite an arduous task!

So to summarize, this year when you are getting started with your gardening projects, look to an outdoor plant shelf. A shelf such as this provides storage and display space and a place for potting your plants. An added benefit is that the shelf will take the brunt of the damage from potted plants, instead of your patio or porch.

I hope the weather has cooperated with your gardening plans this season, I know it has been a great spring so far in my neck of the woods!
