Very rustic & the morning glories should have no trouble going up it! That will be beautiful. Show us again when it is covered! Jan

Are the glories planted midway in flower boxes? This is very cool recycling ! Your hubby did a great job! Fun! Jeanne S.

The morning glories are planted at the bottom. It is just some annuals planted up higher. I think next year I will add more in other slates. He just added a bottom board and potting soil. It is getting fuller everyday. It was a really nice surprise one day when I got home from work.
