I wanted to upcycle the remains of an old deck that my wife and I removed at our new home. Our first attempts at a basil garden were dashed by hungry deer. With the extra wood and a day off I set out to build a planter that would accommodate new basil and look good next to the house. This planter is clearly over-built in using up the old 2 x 6 material but it lends to the rustic charm of our little cabin in the Oregon woods.
