Time for a herb planter upgrade? If you’re getting more serious about your herb garden (or just want it to look a little more put-together), here are 15 lovely herb planters to consider.
Some herb planters are just lovely planter pots (like those pictured above), while others may include dividers and other accessories. There are even tabletop herb garden planters! Let’s dig in :)
1. Cedar Patio Herb Planter Table with Interior Dividers
This VegTrug Cedar Patio Herb Planter Table with Interior Dividers is the premium herb planter table. The cedar wood is classic and long-lasting, while the raised table makes the garden easily accessible at a convenient height. The interior dividers keep all the plants neat and organized.
2. Lightweight Fiber Concrete Barrel Herb Pot
This Lightweight Fiber Concrete Barrel Herb Pot is a very pretty option for the patio. It’s made of light-weight concrete so that it can be portable and moved into the right spot on the ground. This herb planter pot has a drainage hole and comes in quite a few colours. Try it in black or in white, or maybe a beachy blue or traditional warm shade.
3. Traditional Terra Cotta Clay Herb Pots
These Traditional Earth Fired Terra Cotta Clay Herb Pots from Terrain are lovely traditional herb planters. They can be used indoors, or even outdoors when the weather is above freezing. They have handy drainage holes and come with a very attractive low price. Plus, they’ll look even better as they age and develop a beautiful patina.
4. Oak Whisky Half-Barrel Wooden Planter
The whisky half-barrel wooden planter is perhaps the quintessential country herb planter pot. Half-barrels have long been used for container gardening on patios and the like, and herb gardens are no exception. This is a great option for a rustic setting.
“We want a lot of peppermint for drying but do not want to tie up garden space with its roving roots. Every spring, we plant up a half-barrel with peppermint alone. Over the summer, its tightly woven surface runners spread to the barrel’s edges – and sometimes over the top, as if sensing earth below and freedom to roam.”
