Color will soon disappear from the leaves, but it doesn’t have to disappear from your garden. Although the winter season can bring dreary gray days, don’t let your landscape become dreary and gray. You can add life and color to your landscape that will last all winter long with colorful, cool weather plants like ornamental grasses, cabbage, mums, peppers, violas, flowering zucchini and pansies. To really warm up the look of your landscape, plant them in a container constructed out of bamboo!

This bamboo planter will look fantastic year-round and is rather simple to make. All you need are bamboo poles, wire, dowel joints and a piece of plywood for the base. Here at Bamboo Fencer, we offer bamboo poles and slats in a variety of sizes and bundles that would be perfect for this DIY planter project.
