This tiered planter is great for colorful perennials or trailing plants like strawberries. Made from redwood, cedar
or pine, the project is simple and inexpensive to build. It calls for standard lumber, galvanized nails, sandpaper and
sealer. Construction is a simple matter of cutting the pieces to size and assembling with galvanized nails. To finish,
sand and apply a coat of sealer or paint.
The tiered planter is about 30 inches square by 14 inches tall.
