At Tidy Mom, the blogger Jessica shares how she made a wooden outdoor planter on wheels. You can also use it as an indoor planter. Some woodworking and painting are required. But, overall, it’s not that difficult.
This moveable garden was made out of cages, casters, scrap wood, some outdoor fabric, and of course, the edible plants like carrots, radishes, and spinach. You can also do the same, following the tutorial at the Instructables.
This planter can become a great addition to your courtyard, balcony or backyard. The steps are not difficult and nicely explained at the Bunnings. Grow vegetables in it or your favorite annuals.
This raised bed planter is very aesthetic and looks expensive. However, it is made from old shipping pallets. An appealing look is given to it using old shutters. Casters are used to make it moveable.
This project is surely one of the best in this DIY Mobile Garden Ideas list. It requires some DIY and carpentry skills, if you’re not sure, take help of someone with good hands. The tutorial along with a video is available at a Dutch site here, but you can always translate!
The moveable planter like this can be a great asset for adding interest to the dull landscape. Any wooden box or container can be converted into a planter that moves using casters.

Garden Sprouts is a program I run at the South Carolina Botanical Garden that is designed for preschoolers and caregivers. This class takes place once a week for three months every spring and fall. The goal is to share age-appropriate nature-based activities with children, who are mostly three to five years old, but sometimes younger or older. Over time I have learned the caregivers also learn things they never knew, enjoy the activities immensely, and are able to connect more deeply to the natural world through this program. The structure of this hour-long program is three-fold, we begin inside with a book related to the theme of the day, a walk or outdoor activity, and finally a craft. In this blog, I would like to share some of the books, outdoor activities, and crafts we have done in this class.
