I am always on the lookout for out of the ordinary planters and
I hate to pay so much for plastic planters in my garden.
But look what I made for my succulents this year.
The natural wood and the greens of the succulents are a perfect match, and it couldn't have been easier.
I made this out of a fire wood log from the building supply!
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.
