Hate to throw anything away or buy anything I don't have to. Finally completed my #salvaged stone planter for the #nativeplant redbud tree which will help to cool this side of the house #LandscapingForClimate . Why go through the trouble of building a raised planter? Well, exercise and creative satisfaction for one. It's to provide a good draining soil for tree health. Deciding now on native herbs like Yarrow to fulfill my multi-use philosophy on gardening, medicinal, wildlife, fragrance, maybe an edible.
