Creating a nesting outdoor plant box system is a fantastic way to maximize garden space while keeping it organized. Here’s a simple guide to help you build one:

1. Materials Needed:

- Pressure-treated wood or cedar (for durability)

- Screws, nails, or wood glue

- Measuring tape and saw

- Drill and sandpaper

- Waterproof sealant

2. Design & Measurements:

- Plan the sizes of your boxes so they nest neatly inside each other when not in use.

- Standard dimensions could be 24x12x12 inches for the largest box, with each smaller box reducing by 2 inches in width and depth.

3. Assembly Steps:

- Cut the wood into panels for the sides, bottom, and ends.

- Assemble each box by screwing or nailing the panels together.

- Sand the edges to prevent splinters.

- Apply waterproof sealant to protect against weather damage.

4. Nesting Functionality:

- Ensure the smaller boxes fit snugly inside the larger ones when stacked.

- Add handles to the sides for easy lifting and rearranging.

5. Finishing Touches:

- Paint or stain the boxes to match your outdoor décor.

- Fill with soil and plants, then arrange them in your garden or patio.

This modular system saves space and makes gardening more efficient. Enjoy your DIY nesting plant boxes!
