Do you have a certain someone who loves to garden? Want to make them something they can use and will love? If so here are some Great DIY Garden gifts that will make you a Rockstar!
Most of these projects cost $50 or less so grab your tools and lets get started.
(this post contains affiliate links, please see my disclosure page for more info)
- Obelisk Arbor
This is so easy you can make it in a day. Paint it any color you like and if you want to make it extra special, buy a plant or seeds for a vertical growing plant that will cover it in sweet blooms. Click here to see what is on my wishlist to plant by my Arbor.
- Kitchen Garden Grow Box
This is great for growing salad greens or herbs. Include a packet of seeds (see #6 below for ideas) and a bag of potting soil to make the gift complete. Paint it any way you like.
See my Learn to Paint links for perfect ideas.
- Farmhouse Victorian Garden Bench or Sweetheart Bench
Both of these designs would be a hit and you can paint them any color or with various designs. Build two and keep one yourself, they are so easy and fun!
- Rustic Toolbox for a Planter
These are so popular and you can see why, they make a great planter or even a centerpiece. You can also use it to hold utensils at your backyard bbq or picnic, it is just an all around useful project.
- Potting Bench from Fence Boards
Yes, even this beauty cost us under $50 to build.

This is brilliant! I was looking for something to gift my sis-in-law on her birthday; she’s a DIY-Gardening-Rock painting kinda girl. The ideas on the list seem perfect. I’ll probably gift her a hand-painted planter. Thanks 🙂
Pamela says
I am so glad this helped. My mom paints on rocks, I should share some things she has painted for me. I have a rock fawn on my front porch.
Ankita Singh says
I love painted rocks! My Pinterest is full of inspiration. Please share your pictures, I’d love to draw some more inspiration 🙂

Great ideas! Preplanted herb gardens will be my choice!

I would like to see this post on the DIY for gardeners. However, only skin care ads were there. Even getting rid of the “x” did not help.
Pamela says
Thank you, Barbara for letting me know, I will relate this to the ad company that runs the ads.
Barbara Underwood says
I did bring up the diy post and love all of them. Yes, please feature the rock paintings. Since I live in hot and humid southwest Florida, please advise type of paint to use.
Thank you,
Barbara Underwood

Hi Barbara. With the rock paintings you can use the Plaid Folk Art Outdoor paint. It works well and if you seal the entire rock with Rustoleum Spar Urethane Exterior (waterbased), not just the painted part, it will last much longer. Or if you keep it in a sheltered area, like on your porch or veranda. I am testing out the Plaid Folk Art Multi Surface which is supposed to work just as well and on many surfaces. The stepping stones I have done are with regular craft acrylics and sealed with the Rustoleum and I left them out all winter in the harsh weather, they have done just great.
