With spring in full swing and summer just around the corner, there’s no better time to spruce up your garden planting than the present.
Whether you want a stylish container garden on a patio or fancy trying your hand at growing vegetables, you can usually find everything you'll need in the famous 'ALDI Finds' aisle in stores across the US or online. And while perusing for gardening tools and accessories, I spotted a selection of self-watering planters in the perfect nature-inspired colors for spring.
Belavi, Aldi’s gardening and patio furniture and accessory line, recently released a highly anticipated hidden gem for the beginner, time-poor gardener that has everyone on social media talking.
The self-watering planter, a must-have for growing your own produce, is only $4.99. The best price I've seen for well-made yet affordable planters in the US. The serene colorways are ideal for minimalist spaces, and my favorite is the gorgeous green option. They’re also a great way to start a miniature vegetable garden or to line a pathway with your favorite fragrant flowers.
This exact planter allegedly sold out fast last year, so we expect this one will likely sell quickly, too.
So, why do you need a self-watering planter? Poorly designed pots and confusing watering schedules can lead to plants and flowers being under- or overwatered. ALDI created this stylish, self-watering planter to keep your plant babies looking healthy.
The design can be used indoors and out, and it has been designed to make watering even easier. Simply feed your plant through the dedicated port, and the tray will retain water to gradually feed the plant throughout its lifespan. It really is a wonderful option for frequent travelers, time-poor plant parents, and novice gardeners.
I love to use my planter to create 'zones' within my backyard. You can use them to turn a seating or dining area into a more secluded spot, especially if your garden is overlooked by neighbors.
Tall blooms like delphiniums, hollyhocks, or foxgloves are a good option for screening off areas of your outdoor space and creating both shade and privacy. Alternatively, this planter is a low-maintenance way of growing fruit and vegetables. Buy a few, planting different fruit and veggies in each, so you can enjoy home-grown produce throughout the year.
If you plan on starting a vegetable garden, ALDI's wooden raised bed planter has been a viral hit for the brand.
Are you a plant serial killer – always over- or under-watering, causing stress and even plant deaths? Or perhaps you're planning a short break with no one to water your beloved plants. This self-watering pot could help by letting the plant take as much or as little water as it wants. It is also available in orange and black.
The power of planters shouldn’t be underestimated: well-placed containers can transform a garden, and a self-watering one is ideal if you're short on time. This best-selling set of three is perfect for a minimalist yard, and grouping them together follows the design best practice – the rule of three – which suggests grouping items in threes will created visual interest and depth. It works just as well outdoors as it does inside.
Made in North America, this sustainable and stylish garden addition is crafted from recycled materials, beautifully blending form and function. It's an eco-friendly choice, ideal for enhancing your outdoor space, but it can also be used indoors if preferred. You won't regret this purchase.
