The first picture shows a planter made from old gutters that have been capped on each side and planted with herbs. Each is attached to another to create a hanging planter which is a good way for small areas or balconies. The second picture is a planter made from a hollowed out log (made with a chainsaw) and planted with lots of color which is great against the earthy tones of the log itself.

I love the herb idea. We have been growing flowers in a log for a few years now.

I do too…. herbs are so often looked over but placed in your garden or in planters it gives a great look to your backyard and provides great aromas to enjoy!

I just tried growing some in the shade for a blooming herb garden and they seem to be doing well. 🙂
