Spring has officially sprung and that means it’s time to get your garden in full-swing.
If you’re looking for a unique addition to your garden this year, you might want to try making one of these log planters. They are a great way to bring some life back to old logs and add a natural touch to any garden .
Find out how you can DIY your own.
The first thing you’ll need for this project is a log.

Try to pick a soft wood like white pine. Your best bet for finding one is from a local logging company or wood distributor in your area.
Once you have a log, you’ll need to carve out a shallow trough to make a bed for your flowers.
Once the trough is ready, fill it with top soil or potting soil.

Then, your log will be ready for some plants!
Many people choose to create a colorful flower bed with their favorite annuals.
You can also use a smaller log to make a planter that is perfect for your porch or deck.

These planters add a rustic and natural touch to any space. I’m ready to make a whole bunch for my yard!
People are even using them to plant succulents.

This is an awesome idea! If a log isn’t readily available, you can try using a piece of driftwood instead. I really want to make a succulent garden like this one.
If you prefer a vertical planter, use a tree stump.

This is a great way to convert an unsightly tree stump in your yard. A colorful batch of flowers brings this stump back to life.
