Make a Mobile Container Garden

Create a container garden with mobility in mind. Vary its position for light, decor, or for indoor/outdoor use.

You will need: base from an old office chair/ round project board (at least as wide as the chair base)/ measuring tape/ marker/ drill/ hole saw (with a diameter at least as wide as the center pole of the chair base)/ sandpaper/ planters (enough to fit around your base + 1 for the top)/ drainage material (gravel, packing peanuts, etc)/ soil/ trowel/ plants for each planter (at least one tall, one filler, one spiller) 

Getting the right chair is important. The seat does not matter, but look for one with a sturdy base and good wheels. A flat base is ideal and more likely found in older chairs. Try a thrift store or used office furniture store as a resource.

The method for attaching the seat to the base varies by manufacturer, but they all come apart. Inspect your chair to determine how the seat is attached and carefully remove it. Don't worry if the center pole is somewhat unappealing. It will not show in the finished project.
