ThinkEco2 Wood Planter Boxes

I recently received a ThinkEco2 wood planter box. It was perfect timing and I was able to use them to bring some much needed color to my backyard. ThinkEco2 create eco-friendly products to organize your kitchen, wine and garden product.

I wouldn’t consider myself as having a green thumb. I love flowers and seeing beautifully manicured yards, but it’s not really ever been my thing. BUT, working at a preschool has taught me a few things; like how to get a plant start from a seed in a plastic bag and some dirt taped on a window. This came in handy when I bought an amazing delicious cantaloupe at the store and thought, “Wouldn’t it be nice if we could plant the seeds from this cantaloupe and grow our own melons.”

Spending the afternoon gathering supplies and preparing a spot in the yard to plant those seeds with my son was a surprisingly rewarding experience. It got me excited to spruce up our backyard with some plants and flowers. We are currently just renting our house and I didn’t want to plant anything I might have to leave behind. I figured the ThinkEco2 planter boxes would be the perfect way to be able to bring it with us.

I spent the next couple days shopping for some flowers and planting supplies. The boys and I didn’t always agree on what to put in the boxes but we settled on Dahlias and green peppers. We transplanted everything and watered it all really well. We had a great time. The boxes are sturdy and have held up well from the effects of the sun and water. I love that the planter boxes are natural and look kind of vintage.

ThinkEco2 is a company in San Diego, CA. They reclaim, reprocess, and repurpose wood that was on its way to the landfill. Their “Green” wine and garden products are from 100% recycled wood. I think it’s amazing what they can make with what someone else was throwing away. I have a friend who has a penchant for wine who might enjoy one of the wine racks for her next birthday.
