One of design coordinator Charles Burbridge's pet peeves is using plastic planters. He remedies the faux pas by creating his own cement planters for the patio. He tints the concrete to a custom color and keeps the planter in scale with the other furnishings. A simple wood form, some tape-wrapped cardboard and non-stick cooking spray do the trick. It's heavy though, so Burbridge mounts the planter on heavy duty wheels so it can be easily moved around the patio.
