DIY Flower Towers – Easy Garden Project, Low Cost (Petunia, Impatiens, & Begonias)

Let’s build a tower of flowers, or flower tower! There are many ways to build one, often with materials you already have. I will show you how I make one but I encourage you all to get creative! Decide how high you want your tower to be and choose the correct fencing. Keep in mind the tower will be buried into the container for support so the height you decide should take this into account. Start by taking the mesh fence and making a circle with it inside of your container. Mark the fence when you have the correct size circle and cut it with bolt cutter or snips. Put the fence flat and lay landscape fabric across one side. Poke holes 1” in from the edges and secure the fabric to fence with garbage bag ties. If you cut the end of the fence so the horizontal metal tabs are exposed you can use them to wrap around the other end of fence to secure the circle. If not use zip ties or hose clamps. Place the new tower into the container and back fill the outside with soil. Decide on the locations you want your plants and using a razor or scissors, cut a cross in the landscape fabric in these locations. The minimum height for your first row of plants is the top of the container, but I’d suggest starting at least 3” high to give room for growth. Add potting mix and osmocote to the inside of the tower up to the level of your first row. Insert your plants into the first-row locations and add more potting mix and osmocote until you reach your 2nd level of plants. Continue to repeat these steps until you reach the top of the tower. **PRO TIP: Do not fill the entire tower with potting mix and then try to insert plants. It’s very difficult to do and you can injure the plants trying to insert them. Fill and plant as you go. ** Finally, put some plants in the top opening. Sometimes it’s great to put a different plant that compliments the ones making up the tower. Water daily and thoroughly until the flowers have rooted and grown a few inches, about 7-10 days. Make sure to give each plant some water rather than only water from the top. Sit back and enjoy the warm weather as you watch your flower tower come to life!
