Wall Planters

Living Wall Planter
This type of living wall planter can be hung on the outside of your home near the entryway or on a back deck. To get a similar look, use an old drawer as the planter box or use some scrap wood to build the box. Or, if you’d rather buy than build this planter, you can do that here.
