DIY: A Painted Garden Bed on Wheels

Reclaimed in style: wood sourced from pallets is painted and attached to casters for an instant and inexpensive garden bed.

Spotted on the blog of Harvest Textiles, a Melbourne-based screen printing studio and workshop, the garden beds were built by graphic designer Lily Daley and silversmith Lucy Hearn of Peaches and Keen. The two designed the backyard with sustainability in mind: they only sourced objects already collected and began starter plants from donated succulent cuttings.

We most admire the simplicity of the reclaimed beds; see our sources below to recreate the DIY project yourself.
