Kick-off the Season With These DIY Spring Garden Ideas
Springtime Gardening
With my gardening tools already laid out in the mudroom, I am totally excited for spring. Though I got to garden indoors during winter, nothing beats working outdoors in springtime with fresh air and warm sunshine.
But then, growing vegetables outdoors will have to wait until after the last frost date. Good thing these DIY spring garden ideas will keep your hands busy and boost a bountiful harvest this growing season!
1. Easy DIY Mason Bee House

Greet the return of our friendly pollinator bees with a bright bee house you can build on your own easily.
2. Stylish Homemade Squash Arch
Put up a trellis or an arch before you plant squash or pumpkin in spring for a lovely landscape.
3. Ingenious DIY Rain Barrel
With the coming of spring, the rainy days are sure to follow. Don’t let this natural, untreated water go to waste and save on your water bill by building a DIY rain barrel.
4. Organic DIY Wattle Fence

If you’ve missed out on pruning overgrowth in your garden last fall, don’t despair. The dead twigs and sticks can be crafted into wattles you can use to build a fence, a raised bed, or compost bins.
5. Cozy DIY Fabric Swing
While the list of gardening activities can get long in the spring, you can only do so much in a day. So give yourself a chance to put your feet up once in a while outdoors by building your own swing from fabric and wood.
6. Practical Homemade Seed Tapes
Why buy costly seed tapes when you can make them easily and have them for free. You can use paper towels to make seed tapes, or better yet, old newspapers.
7. Dainty DIY Plant Marker
Fancy plant markers are available in all sizes and shapes at the garden supply store but I like mine rustic, organic, and best of all, free.
8. Chic DIY Cement Planters
Some of your favorite plants may need dividing or transplanting and you will be needing planters for it. Make concrete or cement planters for durable, chic, yet affordable planters.
