How to construct a geometric double-hexagon herb planter
In short: General contractor Tom Silva demonstrates how to build a sophisticated double-hexagon raised garden bed. This project provides a practical solution for growing herbs when ground soil is too rocky or tough for planting.
Designed to assist a local Girl Scout troop in rebuilding garden beds at their library, this project uses cedar boards to create a divided planter. Tom Silva and host Kevin O’Connor walk through the assembly process, utilizing a miter saw to cut the wood and securing the structure with wood glue and stainless steel screws.
Raised beds serve as an effective alternative for gardening in difficult terrain. This specific design focuses on a hexagon shape, turning a complex geometric challenge into a manageable DIY task using standard supplies found at most home centers.
