Take a look at the top left picture, looks like you'd have to cut holes into the flat surface of the ironing board to fit the pots for the herbs. Would suggest a bottom for the pots so watering does not run through.
The board can be placed into a hole and then propped up to make a vertical climbing wall. Clematis or other climbing vine will crawl up easily.

Hi Priscilla
Most of the ideas I found just say to spray paint the ironing board and put your herbs on top in pots. Here is some other ideas- did you see this idea somewhere?

Thanks for all the helpful answers. I think I have it in my mind as to how I will do it.
If its metal it might rust, a consideration to think abt.
Hi Priscilla,
Use the frame minus the padding as a table. Fix a crate or box on to it using the holes in top, and screws and bolts. Line the box with old Compost bag and fill with compost etc and plants.
