Burlap Bag Planter


Pin It



Hi, there!
I found these burlap bags in the garden section of Walmart. They have a drainage hole inside and make wonderful containers for plants, either planting directly or placing a potted plant inside. 

I love the texture of the burlap and how it contrasts with the greenery of the fern! And the handles make it so convenient to transport it anywhere .

For now it is sitting right next to our front door on the porch along with the evergreen in the urn and the geranium in the metal plant stand.
On the other side of the front door is another urn planted with an arborvitae evergreen:

Against the stone facade of the house, the combination of the greenery and annuals looks beautiful:

Summer greens:

 This is a view of my front porch from the curb:

  A row of taller arborvitae evergreens make a natural privacy fence from the road. Morning sun bathes the evergreen trees:

A view of the pillared light post from the porch:

 The pink impatiens contrast beautifully with the yellowish green of the landscaping bushes:

 Blue ceramic pots 

 of various sizes

overflowing with pink impatiens


......verbenas and yellow snapdragons

August is upon us 

 and few more weeks left to enjoy the beauty of summer annuals

before we bid adieu to the glorious days of summer

Thanks for stopping by! I would also like to take a moment to thank these beautiful ladies for featuring my Summer Garden in their wonderful weekly parties filled with inspiring projects and ideas. Do stop by and visit them if you get a chance or join the parties just for fun!

    What beautiful colour you have in your summer garden. I'd never, ever have thought of a burlap bag planter, but it's rather good-looking!

    Hi Poppy,
    I'm so glad you told us about those burlap bags. I will look for them the next time that I'm in Walmart. Your flowers all look so pretty. Mine are looking pretty bedraggled from the heat. I'm hoping a little fertilizer gives them a new lease on life!

    Love the whole look you have created...I am a new follower! I have been making burlap bags myself...wish I had found the Walmart ones, it would be so much easier!

    Such a cute planter...and that row of evergreens, looks wonderful too!...I have been thinking about doing that myself to disguise a neighboring yard is who is F-A-R from being a yard person, let alone a gardener...LOL

    Well that's something I'll check on at Wal Mart-very neat looking. You have a splendid front yard with glamorous flowers. We've got a few weeks left to enjoy the summer.

    The burlap bag is a great idea. Your planters and your garden are stunning, I am so green with envy. Living in the desert we sure don't have a garden like this. Thanks tons for joining Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty

    I like your burlap bag planter - how chic! I have a new appreciation for arborvitaes. They get the job done in the privacy and screening department.

    Poppy, I am off to Walmart. lol! Well, not till tomorrow, but I hope they have the burlap bag. I love urns and pick them up whenever I find them for a decent price. Your porch looks lovely and there is nothing like green in the garden! I also love the combination of the pink with the blue pots. Thanks for sharing with SYC. Congrats on so many features!

    Hi Poppy. The burlap bags are really sweet and a great idea for displays of plants. They'd be great for fall with mums etc. as well. Your flowers and the beautiful blue pots are gorgeous. I love the bright green shrubs along the walk for contrast. It looks beautiful. I'm visiting from Sandi's party "HOME". Blessings, Pamela
