Herb Planter Box 1W26
Age Group:
Adults
Come make a cedar wooden planter box that can be used to grow a small collection of herbs and will sit elegantly on a porch or in a yard! This workshop will teach you all you need to know about constructing and growing this sort of project. In this workshop we will create a small planter box, perfectly sized for a collection of herbs, using intermediate joinery techniques with a combination of hand and power tools. Students will walk away from the course with a complete planter box, ready to be used in the summer months as well as increased confidence in tackling simple household furniture projects.
This class does not have a make up date.
