This DIY chalkboard herb planter turns regular clay pots into beautiful and fun places to grow your herbs! Use smaller pots for an indoor garden and larger for outside! Don’t forget to get the kids involved!
I love to garden. I love being outdoors, enjoying the weather, and getting my hands dirty. I also love the sense of accomplishment I feel when I see the results of my hard work.
But sometimes gardening and landscaping doesn’t have to be difficult or hard. With this fun DIY Chalkboard Herb Planter I’m able to plant the herbs I love in cute decorative pots and don’t really have to worry much about them.
Plus, you can make this project with simple materials that you might already have in your home!
DIY Chalkboard Herb Planter
What You’ll Need:
- Terra Cotta Pots
- Inexpensive Paint (acrylic would work too)
- Chalkboard Paint
- Foam Brushes
- Miracle Gro Moisture Control Potting MIx
- Herb Plants or Seeds
What You Do:
1. Paint (or have your kids paint) the terra cotta pots. Let dry completely.
2. Using the chalkboard paint, create a rectangle on the outside of the pot so you can label what herb you are planting. Let dry completely. Once dry, label the pot with the herb you are planting.
3. Fill pot with soil about 1/2 way. Remove herb plant from it’s original container and nestle in the soil. Top with more potting mix. Water and enjoy!
Now that I have a cute new herb garden I can show it off on my front porch or on my patio and can change the signs as my herb garden changes and grows!

Very cute & I love that you let the kids help!
What a cute idea! I have wanted to do some gardening with the kids and I’ve always wanted to get chalkboard paint- now I have a reason to do both, lol.
Very cool. I love this idea. What a neat project. I need some chalkboard paint now.
What a great idea!! Pinning this!
I am in love with this idea! I always have to do a taste test to figure out if I’m snipping parsley or cilantro.
That is so great. I feel bad that I didn’t really do many DIY projects with my kids because I am so terrible with that type of thing.
I love that idea! I’ve always wanted to grow herbs like that, I’m going to try this sometime!
I love it, how fun! I might have to do this with some of my terracotta pots!
Such a cute idea and I know my kids would love it!
Oh now that is a super cute craft! I love it! I want to go build one right now!
I love how the whole family can get together for this project.
