The first option display single pots on in-ground soil secured by stake pins:
I use these 6-inch garden stake pins in gardening tasks to hold up pots, pottery, and other plant support items in my garden, like tables, fencing, cages, and support plant rods.

This outdoor plant stand option is for free-standing outdoor small to medium size pots. These 6-inch Garden Stake Pins come in three different varieties; half-green, all-green or galvanized. Small to medium size plants that add to front yard or backyard settings that sit on in-ground soil can be held in place using these six-inch outdoor gardening stake pins. The garden stake pins hold the pottery or other outdoor pots in place during low seconds-long wind periods. Plant pots also tend to tilt or fall when the moisture levels in the soil in the pots are low, and upward foliage causes the pot to tumble over. By staking the pins around the parameter of the pots in-ground, the pots should hold in place in a stationary matter, hence the pins become outdoor plant stands. If the pots have large amounts of foliage extending from them, add more pins on the parameter of the pots. Encircle more pins around the pots to create individual outdoor plant stands for each pot. For example, a pot of basil in a garden will stand up freely, stationary and in place, and it will not fall onto other plants in the garden, if staked with pins. Also, a fully blooming bouquetlike flowery potted plant with large top foliage will stand upright in a yard’s flower display and not spill or tumble over.
These pins are easy to install, therefore just push the pins into the soil half-way down around the parameters of the pots, tightening the sides of the pots. Tighten the tension around the pots by adding more pins. If pots are still sloping or leaning towards falling, add one or two metal garden stake rods with the pins to set the pots upright. There are three different varieties of pins to use on the exterior of the pots to set the pots stationary. These pins can be reused for several gardening seasons for staking pots into stationary positions.
The second option display 2-tier plant stands, stands stay secured by stake pins:
Two-Tier 2-3 feet plant stand options change the height of plants in comparison to in-ground garden planting levels. Set plants up at different height levels in an in-ground gardening environment in a greenhouse, or above the ground free standing plants on a patio. These type of plant stands add multiple height levels to the gardening setting; 6-inches from the ground, and 24-inches from the ground. A 3-tier stand, or table would be 36-inches from the ground. There are several plants that would fit in this setting by being displayed above the in-ground gardening. The plant stands can be placed in various places in a greenhouse or on a patio, if there is amble light reaching each of the plants.
Plants that you harvest the leaves for teas would strive in this type of greenhouse gardening setting. Plants like strawberries, blueberries, and lemon grasses, their leaves used as teas would be easier to harvest because the plants are lifted above the garden. Their leaves are available to harvest throughout the entire gardening season.
This 2-tier plant stand option also displays well on a patio or porch with amble or partial sunlight. It takes up a small amount of space for two-tier outdoor plants or for 2-tier potted herb gardens.
If this plant stand is displayed near an inground area or on an inground area next to a patio surface, use the six-inch stake pins in-ground to secure the unit in place by staking the pins in the ground half-way and attaching the unit to the pins with cotton rope. If more staking is needed, use the metal stake rods also with the cotton rope. This prevents the 2-tier plant stands from tumbling over and the plants on the stand from tumbling over. These garden stake pins support the pots, stands, or tables that hold the plants. If plants have heavy top foliage, secure the plant to the stand, or secure the plant to the table, with cotton rope, also.
The third option multi-level plant tables and outdoor tables, both table types secured by stake pins:
Outdoor tables also work well to use as plant stands for small gardens, or for small patio gardening settings. Outdoor tables have 2-tier standing areas for plants, full sun plants sit on top of tables, and partial sun plants sit underneath tables. However, 1, 2, or 3-tier metal-plant-stand tables use less spacing, but either unit (outdoor table units or 1-3-tier plant stand units) would work depending on the amount of space allowed in the yards or patios for gardens. Both types of tables allow for partial and full sun light.
Non-fragrant potted flowers can be secured to the legs of the outdoor tables or outdoor benches, so that the potted plants do not tumble over because of high yields and high foliage. Plants that like shaded areas sit underneath the table, plants that like full sun light sit on top of table. Outdoor benches can have secured plants attached to them with rope. Use drainage trays and allow for drainage overflow around each bench. Fragrant, bug repellent potted flower like Citronella Geraniums add a mild fragrant to garden area. These plants sit about two feet away from table-top gardening setting.
Metal-plant-stand tables and other outdoor tables options create patio gardens or above-the-ground yard gardens. Patios and yards with limited spaces can create gardens using heavy-duty plant holder tables, 1-tier, 2-tier, or 3-tier tables, or other tables. These tables are sturdy enough to mount small and medium size pots on them in patio or yard settings. Before filling the pots with potting mix and potting soil, secure the pots down to the table with cotton rope (#commissionearned) to prevent pots from tumbling off tables. Secure pots by tying ropes around the pots, then connecting the ropes onto the table. The pots should be stationary on the tables with adequate drainage in each pot. Pots with large amounts of top foliage are then less likely to tumble over in the wind. Pots with high yields will then stand stationary in place.
After the pots are installed and secured on the garden tables or outdoor tables, secure the tables itself down in place in a garden yard setting with 6-inch garden stake pins. Install the pins by inserting the pins in the ground about half-way down around each of the legs of the table. Thread rope through each stake pin and tie rope to each of the table legs. Tie rope around the pins and the legs to secure them in place. Add more pins to tighten the tension of the garden tables and picnic tables, then secure more rope around the added pins. The units should feel stationary to the ground. In the stationary pots on the tables begin planting above-the-ground garden.
In a patio setting the above-the-ground garden table can be anchored down with cotton rope. When foliage increases in volume and the plants’ yields are high in above-the-ground vegetable gardens and above-the-ground flower displays, anchor and tie the units down with cotton rope to something stationary on the patio or use large hollow foundation bricks that you can tie the cotton rope through. The units are then stationary on the patio.
Examples of high foliage plants include potted gladioli flowers with tall stalks and blooming branches. Potted tomatoes plants that climb upward and have high yields of fruits, even cherry tomato plants can reach heights of 5-6 feet. Potted 3-8 feet high cannas flowers. The tall potted sunflower that looks like a giant bean stalk. Tall leafy-green plants if potted, like cabbages and collars. Albeit there are many other plants when potted that become top heavy with foliage, blooms, and yields. Therefore, these plants can be displayed in a small or patio garden with the proper plant supports and foliage supports.
However, with top heavy foliage, the plants themselves need support holders, cages, and stakes. Flower plant support stakes (#commissionearned). The support holders hold the yields while the fruit is completing its ripening process. For some high foliage and high yield plants, they need cages, trellis holders, or long stake holders to maintain their yields for each plant.
Therefore, anchor and support in-ground plant stands, plant holder tables and picnic tables with garden stake pins (#commissionearned). On surfaces like patios and porches, plant stands, and plant holder tables can be supported with bricks, cotton ropes and garden stake pins. This will allow other flower outdoor plant support holders that are attached to the plant’s foliage to heighten the plant’s performance for scenic yard appearances and high gardening yields.
