A plant in dire need of room to grow and a stack of old dock boards inspired my husband, Joe, to build some pretty fabulous rustic planters!
The ponytail palm in her new home, the larger of the two planters... you could hear a sigh of relief when she was finally planted and watered. The liner of this piece is made from some very tough material; the remnants of an old "turbidity screen" which was destined for the landfill.

With no pattern and only an "in our head" design plan, my husband built these planters using old dock boards and the remnants of an old turbidity screen. The size of each PLANTER was dictated by the salvagable size of each BOARD. These taper some from top to bottom; no mere boxes are they!!
Pattern or design used: My own design
