DIY Planters
I was pleasantly surprised when I received my first delivery, which was for Winter 2022/2023. There was so much greenery, I could hardly fit it all! And SO fresh! The added decor was beautiful. The guide made it so easy to create the perfect arrangement. My friends said my front porch looked like the cover of a magazine. I can’t wait to get my Spring delivery!

Love my DIY Planters!
I believe this is the third year that I’ve constructed Winter DIY planters from Simple and Grand. The evergreen materials are fresh and the trimmings are clever and classy. The video instructions are easy to follow and it doesn’t take long before am able to put two professional looking planters by my front door for the holiday/winter season.

Great Customer Service & Plants
I have received a ton of compliments on my planters! When I was missing a mum out of my most recent delivery, upon notification they not only sent me a replacement mum but sent me 2 so that they would match within a matter of days. I have loved every plant combination I've received so far!

Excited about my DIY planter kit going into my "new" century old urns!
One year ago I started the DIY planter service. I have looked forward to getting each season of plants delivered. The holidays were particularly fun. We have an old house and this year my Simple and Grand plants will go in century old urns that my husband found at an auction this winter. I am more excited about this than I should be. Thank you!

Thrilled with my DIY pots!
I couldn’t be more happy with my DIY pots. Not only did I not have to go into the busy garden store during COvid, but I was delivered everything I needed to pot my own arrangement. I love doing them myself every year, so this gave me the feeling that I was still doing the fun part of planting, but not the hassle of shopping. The plus side, my arrangements lasted all summer and still going at the end of August. Our home is south facing, so we get hot afternoon sun. My pots are usually burned out by Mid-July. The design is beautiful, practical, and convenient. Couldn’t be more happy!

Delivery Delta
The time between the charge to my credit card and delivery of the kit is approximately a month, I would prefer less of a delta.

DIY Subscription
This subscription is good if you already have planters & want to plant them yourself without having to shop all over for the plants. I couldn't give a five rating because I've only received the summer kit, but if the fall kit is as well thought-out I could give a five rating in the future.

Great value
I love the idea of not having to shop for the plants myself. Easy to follow photo suggestions.

I love my DIY planter kits
I enjoy planting my front door and deck planters, but I’m not good at choosing good selections of plants. I used to go up and down the aisles of my garden repeatedly before I finally picked out flowers. Sometimes my planters looked great, sometimes not so much. Both my spring and summer Simple to Grand planters look fantastic. I’ve cut back some of the pansies in my spring planters and they still look great on the deck, while the lush summer planters are by my front door. I’m very pleased with Simple to Grand.

Spring DIY
The plants arrived very healthy. It was easy to plant and the pots have been beautiful! We have received many compliments on them. Looking forward to the summer plants.

No issues, but three times per year would be best
The spring and summer deliveries are too close together and the May weather is too iffy, so I would prefer that spring and summer be combined and delivered mid to late May.
