Removing tree stumps can be a very difficult task. If it’s not necessary to get rid of them in your area, why not turn them into planters instead?
This planter idea is simple. All you have to do is hollow out the center to fill it with soil for your plants to grow in!
You can put any plant or flower that you wish. Some people even make fairy gardens with their tree stumps! No matter which plants you choose, you’re sure to have a lovely and unique feature in your yard. :)
