This timber planter box became a garden feature where the lawn was struggling to grow.
The project
I went to the market to pick up some fresh produce. Somehow, I came back home with a 2m tall lemon tree.
Instead of digging down, I thought I'd make a feature of it and incorporate it into the backyard by raising it up so it could catch the sun.
An added bonus was that it covered the area where the lawn wasn't faring too well.
