Lady buys $1 bar stool at garage sale and transforms it into beautiful outdoor planter

Just about everywhere you look, people are using creative, different materials for outdoor planters. You can easily showcase your flowers using wheelbarrow planters. Depending on the time of year, the plants and flowers inside are easy to change out with the seasons.
Plus, you can move the wheelbarrows around according to the angle of the sun in your garden to get your plants the amount of sunshine they need. So, let's take a look at some of the ways you make your very own from scratch, with only basic carpentry skills needed. Or, you can always recycle old wheelbarrows into something special.
