Happy Labor Day friends! We’re gearing up for the next DIY Workshop at The Home Depot where we will be building a hanging planter. Today I’m sharing my custom version of the hanging planter and I’ve got the free plans down below to build your own.
I built this version using cedar boards and it’s sized just right for a pail of mums.
I hope to see you at the DIY Workshop this Saturday, September 12th at 10am where we will be building the hanging planter below:
