I made this out of a fire wood log from the building supply!
The natural wood and the greens of the succulents are a perfect match, and it couldn't have been easier.
I am always on the lookout for unusual planters for my gardens.
This stack of birch fire wood at the local Lowe's caught my eye and I bought two.
A few hours labor with a chisel, a hammer and even a hatchet gave me a log
with a planting hole in the middle.
I screwed a plastic plate to the bottom as a water catcher then filled the
hole up with gravel on bottom and succulent planter mix on top.
Then I shopped my garden succulents for just the right mix of plants to put
in this rustic planter. It is NOT ordinary,
and I love it!
I added a few stones and gravel to the top then took about a thousand photos.
This project makes me smile and smile.
I stapled landscape felt to the bottom of the log
and then screwed on a plastic charger plate from Dollar Tree.
As you can see, it turned out extremely well!
Time to make the second one!
