Concrete planters are especially well suited to industrial, modern, and minimalist interior gardens – and let's not forget about the outdoors! Unsealed, concrete takes on tremendous character from the elements, and sealed options will last a lifetime with proper care. Even better, avid DIY enthusiasts can easily paint or stain those beloved concrete planters to match their favorite styles of the season. Even the smallest concrete planters are unlikely to blow away or fall prey to the bump of a tail or paw of a cat. This post covers 32 of our favorite designs with links to snap them up for yourself.
