** BUILD A VERTICAL HERB PLANTER **

Do you love the taste of fresh herbs? This vertical herb planter lets you grow them all in one convenient place – right outside your door! This is great for Families that might not have that huge growing area. With removable shelves that can be easily left off for taller growing spaces, this simple project can be completed before lunchtime. This is built from long-lasting cedar, which will weather to a beautiful rustic look, but you could use other types of wood for it. Cut the lumber yourself if you have some woodworking experience, or you can have the boards pre-cut at your local Lowes or Home Depot. To keep the harvest coming, be sure to regularly trim back the plants — and eat the cuttings, as Herbs are freshest and best for you straight from the plant. You could also grow other Veggies in this planter, or some nice Flowers.

DETAILS:
Estimated Time: 3 hours*
* less if you have wood pre-cut
Approximate Cost (not including plants): $300 if using cedar, $110 if using treated lumber
