Long Weekend Garden Boxes!

This weekend  we did lots! 

Saturday we had a very successful yard sale. 
Sunday we took apart our garden and made garden planters for our new place 
(a townhouse with no yard, but 2 balconies)
Monday we cleaned up the basement and packed leftover things then relaxed!

Here's the progress of Simon's "masterpiece" planter boxes... 

  

Working hard! 
Simon got to use the saw that I bought him for Christmas. We re-used all the wood from our built-up garden that we took down because we are moving and the landlord said he was going to get rid of the gardens anyways. 
I used Simon's sander and organized the wood to the pattern I like. The wood was sun-bleached on one side so it looks kind of blue.


Finished product!
The only thing we bought for this project was the nice clean wood on the top of the boxes. It finishes it off nicely. Simon mitered the corners to make it extra nice :)

  1. What a great idea - so green and eco-friendly to reuse the wood. You must be from BC!

    What will you be planting?
