Spring allways brings two words in my mind. Renewal and flowers and this project contains both of them.
While helping two friends redecorate the exterior of their beautifull Cafe, I taped an idea that I ve seen in many diy blogs and sites and I ‘ve been dying to make use of, ever since.
Cement block flower pots. My version turned them into tree guards. A few small stones on the inside, to avoid drilling holes for water drainage, plenty of potting soil, a couple of douzen pensees and yes cement can bloom!
To the advantages of this construction, appart from the cute outcome, you can add very low cost and antitheft design, since cement blocks are impossible to move even when not filled with soil.
If you enjoyed playing with blocks, when you were little and you do have the necessary space, you can experiment with geometrical shapes and colours. Your creation will exceed your expectations.
