Planter Box / Herb Planter — Build Plan (Blueprint #3)

Build the workhorse of the garden: a western red cedar herb planter, naturally rot-resistant, with three divider sections and a slatted drainage bottom. This 5-page PDF plan (Build Plan No. 3 in the Fox Feather Farms winter series) makes the 24 x 12 x 10 in (61 x 30 x 25 cm) planter and includes a 16 in size-down option built the same way.

Inside: dimensioned layout diagrams (top and front views), a complete cut list for every board, a full materials list with per-line costs in Canadian dollars (about $55 typical, cedar included), the tools required, finishes and wait times, and a 7-step build summary from crosscutting the boards to the optional top trim rails, including stapling in the landscape fabric liner. Batch-building tips, a materials recap, and safety notes round it out. About 1.5–2 hours of active build time.
