Stacked Planters

The principle of stacking is another great idea, which doesn’t require any skills or else – just take your planters and stack them on each other, the point is to attach them well. The planters may be cinder, wooden, plastic, porcelain or any other, and you’ll get a lot of species in one without losing too much floor space.
