Guest Picks: Wooden Planters for Outdoors
Now that it’s nearly summer, spending time in the backyard is a prime activity for my family. While being outside, I realized that my patio and yard are in need of some more plants. I love the look of wooden planters, and I think they’d be a great option for my (or any) yard. Just a warning, most of these are very pricey, so I think they might better serve as inspiration for a DIY project; but they’re lovely nonetheless. — Annemarie from Brunch at Saks
