Working with The Home Depot on the outdoor and gardening campaign has been fun, and for my last post I am going to be using those wonderful herbs I purchased last week on my shopping spree.
I have always wanted to make an herb garden, but with a small yard, 4 children, and 2 dogs, there is not much room left for an herb garden, or any garden for that matter. That was an issue until I came upon the wonderful pallet garden on Pinterest a few weeks ago.

January 31, 2014 at 10:33I seriously love this! I saw this on Pinterest and navigated my way to your website. I went out and go two pallets just to make this project with. I want to do two extensive herbs, and maybe even some tea leaves! Thank you for this project!!

January 31, 2014 at 15:16Hi,
I am a little confused by the part with the jig and “pocket holes”. Can you please explain that with simpler terms or a diagram for someone who is not handy (yet)?
Jennifer says
January 31, 2014 at 15:32Hi Diana, a Kreg Jig is used to make the pocket holes. If you have never used a Kreg Jig before to make pocket holes, I would practice on a couple of scraps. That’s how I started when I first used a Kreg. You can find videos on YouTube on how to make pocket holes with a Kreg Jig, it would be easier than a diagram. 🙂 Hope that helps!

April 18, 2014 at 01:30How do you get around the fact that stealing pallets is illegal? I am anxious to make a pallet garden, but where do I get a pallet legally?
Jennifer says
April 18, 2014 at 07:16I wouldn’t TRY to get around the fact that stealing pallets is illegal, I received my pallet when I had re-sod our back yard. If you can’t find anyone who would give you a pallet, you can always go online and order one. Hope that helps!

March 26, 2018 at 20:36I work at Home Depot. If you go to the Lumber dept, and ask them for an old pallet and tell them what your using it for they will give it to you. There is nothing illegal at all. They throw many of them in the trash!
Jennifer says
March 27, 2018 at 05:59That’s awesome! But that also might be area specific. I have asked a local one here in Shreveport and they always say they are not allowed to give away their pallets.

April 28, 2014 at 21:37what size screws were used to put this together?
Jennifer says
April 29, 2014 at 16:11I used 2 1/2″ screws (Kreg brand)

Thanks

September 16, 2014 at 06:43Where did you get your Kreg? I have seen the infomercial and planned to order. Glad to know a “real person” has and uses this, and that it does what they claim. Love your herb pallet.
Jennifer says
September 16, 2014 at 11:21Thanks Melle! You can pick one up at your local Home Depot or Lowes, or you can order them online if they do not carry them. I was lucky and both of my local stores carry them, but my friend in Colorado has a local Home Depot that did not carry them. I would check first, and then just order online if they don’t have them 🙂

September 17, 2014 at 16:08I think that herb garden is so neat

October 9, 2014 at 07:35Love your pallet garden… can you please tell me what size pots you used? they look rather large for the thin shelf they seem to be sitting on. Did you consider putting another board across the back as well, creating a small pocket your pots Would fit Into? I have seen that on other versions of this item probably using 3 inch pots. Thanks for sharing it.
Jennifer says
October 10, 2014 at 07:49I didn’t put a board across the back because I was planning on having it up against a wall. If it was free standing our in the open, I would have probably done that.
Ruth Inman says
October 11, 2014 at 06:44Ok, makes sense…and what size pots did you use?
Thanks!
Jennifer says
October 11, 2014 at 11:23I am not exactly sure, but I would guess they are indeed 3 inch pots. 🙂
Christina says
March 14, 2015 at 21:12Did you use a 3 or a 4 foot pallet?
Jennifer says
March 15, 2015 at 09:22It was a 4ft pallet I believe. However, if you look at the entire post, I did re-do the entire pallet because of the bad shape it was in.
