Introduction: Pallet Wood Flower Box Planter

About: I am a digital designer focusing on creating motion.

This Flower Box was crafted from old pallet wood. It is a economical and characteristic solution to give your garden flair. We have searched the neighborhood for old pallets and then dismantled to use it for the flower box.

I want to thank Sven for the help in designing and building this this Flower Box.
