The entire hanging planter would be made up of 21 individual planter modules.

He used a sample nursery pot to finalize the sizing of each individual module.

Each of the 21 hexagon-shaped modules in his design required five different pieces of wood.

To cut costs, he decided to upcycle used pallet wood, resourcefully repurposingsupplies he already had on hand.

Because this DIY-er exclusively used reclaimed wood in his design, some of the rows became unintentionally warped during the build.

Thus, to even out these areas, he had to apply more filler in certain places than he originally expected he’d need.

While this DIY-er was a fan of the planter’s raw wood look, his wife preferred a more cohesive design.

Therefore, hecoated the whole hive herb garden structurewith a fresh coat of paint.
