How to Make a Chalkboard Herb Planter

Spring means gardening and I found a really creative (and inexpensive) way to display my favorite herbs. This cute DIY project is super simple and a fun way to display your favorite herbs, flowers or plants.

Do you ever talk to your plants?

When I was young I had this friend whose mother used to talk to her plants, she swore it was because of her talking to them that they turned out so healthy and beautiful.

Each one of her plants had it’s own name, which she had clearly displayed on the planter. When she would talk to her plants she would call each one by it’s given name.

The only name that I can clearly remember was Charlie, which was given to a huge creeping charlie plant. I don’t know if talking to your plants really does anything for them, but she swore that it did.

When I was creating these DIY Blackboard Planters the thought of my friends mother never popped into my head. It wasn’t until I began to write the types/names of the plants on the planters that it all came back to me. Now, every time I look at my planters I can’t help but smile, they remind me of the crazy lady who used to talk to her plants.
