Attractive Planter is Free with Just a Little Love and Muscle

It can be hard to lose a tree. I had a problem with my drip and didn’t realize it until the my palm tree was dead. If you lose a tree, it can be painful but this idea for the left-over stump may make you feel a little better. 

How to Make a Beautiful Natural Planter from a Stump 

This unique planter looks good in the garden and saves you the cash you would spend on a pot. It is as simple as cutting the log into the size you want. Cut into the log using a drill or a saw and then chip out the inside with a chisel like you would a pumpkin. 

Fill the inside with potting soil and plant some flowers and it is as if the tree is still kind of living and adding beauty to your yard. This guy used a palm tree, but a stump from any tree will do the same. Something with rough bark might look even better.
