An Unused Picnic Table?

What do you do with an unused picnic table?  You turn it into a plant stand in your garden (of course).

A picnic table is a perfect platform for a garden accent, focal point, or even a stand-alone garden.  It provides, height, depth, and the size to support something big and bold.  Here, it offers a pop of color in a formerly drab area at the edge of the woods, drawing attention across the yard.

As in any garden design, it is important to employ a variety of textures and colors to provide contrast.  And even in a set of planters, repeating specific sets of plants helps tie it all together.
