Front Porch Planters Ideas for Winter

Now that all the Christmas Decor is put away, things can look a little empty around the porch.

Here are my Free Front Porch Planters Ideas for Winter using foraged natural elements. You can hunt and gather all the items to make your planters look great for winter without spending any money.

I wanted a snowy winter feel for my front porch but didn’t want to use any of my Christmas trees. The solution is to add a little faux snow to the natural elements and I’m loving the new look. If you want to add faux snow, you can see the DIY tutorial here.

Supplies for Winter Porch Planters

If possible, you will want to use foraged supplies to fill your porch planters. If you don’t have these supplies freely available, you may have a friend or family member who will let you hunt and gather your supplies.

I foraged all my supplies except the spackle but I found some great deals if you need to purchase.

• Twigs or sticks
• Pinecones – Here is variety of sizes.
• Grapevine or Grapevine Wreath – I found these two at a great price.
• Fresh Cut Greenery – Boxwood, Rosemary, Pine are best. Options – Magnolia, Nandina, Cedar.
• Planters – If you like a DIY project try this one. If not, see this ready to purchase option.
• Light Weight Spackle – Optional

Porch Planters

We made our porch faux galvanized planters this past fall and I’m loving the height of them. You can see how we made the planter’s here.

Any size planter will work for this arrangement.

Front Porch Planter Ideas for Winter

Begin by gathering your supplies. If you want to add the faux snow to the pine cones and the twigs, do this ahead of time to allow for drying.

Once all your supplies are ready, add a grapevine wreath or pieces of grapevine around the top of your planter.

For this front porch planter idea, fill 2 to 3 tin cans full of your greenery. If you are using magnolia or other large leaf greenery, you may need a larger container to hold the stems steady.

Next, place them in the planters toward the back side, with the taller pieces of greenery at the back.

Then, add twigs randomly to the greenery to fill in the space. Arrange until the area is basically full.

Finally, place pine cones at the front of the planter in front of the greenery and along the edge of the grapevine. If necessary, add filler or extra pinecones underneath to keep the pinecones above the grapevine level.

My winter porch planters arrangement is inspired by the snowy grapevine wreath I used at Christmas. I combined the snowy wreaths with a twig wreath by using twist ties to connect them. This adds more volume to balance out the planters.
