Looking for a heartfelt and practical Father's Day gift? A DIY outdoor plant box is a perfect choice for dads who love gardening. Here’s a simple guide to create one:

1. Choose the Right Materials: Opt for durable, weather-resistant wood like cedar or redwood. You’ll also need screws, a drill, sandpaper, and outdoor-safe paint or stain.

2. Measure and Cut the Wood: Decide on the size of your plant box. A standard size is 24x12x12 inches. Cut the wood into panels for the sides, bottom, and ends.

3. Assemble the Box: Drill pilot holes to prevent splitting, then screw the sides together. Attach the bottom panel last for stability. Sand the edges for a smooth finish.

4. Personalize It: Paint or stain the box in your dad’s favorite color. Add a heartfelt message like "Happy Father’s Day" or his name using stencils.

5. Add Plants: Fill the box with potting soil and plant his favorite herbs, flowers, or succulents. Include a small gardening tool set for an extra touch.

This handmade gift combines creativity and functionality, making it a memorable present for any gardening enthusiast dad. Happy crafting!
