It might seem kind of intimidating, but growing fresh vegetables in your garden isn’t really that hard at all.
Rot- and bug-resistant juniper timbers are an all-natural alternative to treated wood in this rustic raised planter bed.
You're so much more likely to use herbs if they're easily accessible in your kitchen rather than in a bed somewhere outside. This DIY hanging herb planter brings fresh herbs right into your kitchen so you can snip-as-needed for a little zest in your dinner.
Start getting your garden in the mood for spring with this trellis, perfect for flowers, vines, or climbing plants like honeysuckle or jasmine.
If you love the look of raw wood, cedar is a wonderful option because it's naturally rot-resistant and has a beautiful, classic look to it. But regardless of what lumber you go with, this project will be stunning.
This year was Dunn DIY's second year at Seattle's Northwest Flower and Garden Show. I had a great time and hope you did too! Here are a few photos from one of our five days at the show.

There are all sorts of plants that need a little extra support as they grow. Some plants get really tall. Others are itty-bitty, and they stay that way. In the past, we've done a large trellis that's perfect for tall, tangled, beautiful branches. Today we're putting together a mini trellis that's perfect for supporting spring starters like peas.
Has it stopped raining yet? Nope! So let’s make use of this indoor weather to prep for spring. Today we’re building a strawberry planter, just in time to start planting for spring.
