With the improved outdoor temperatures, I have been fending off the pollenocolypse and spending more time outside working on my landscaping. One of my planned projects was to create a "living chair" as a landscape fixture in one of those what-do-I-put-here spots in the yard. I've seen a couple similar concepts around the internet, but no one seemed keen to share their how-to methods, so I decided to take it on and share my findings with my readers.
Here's the details and supply list to get you inspired!

2) Choose your plants based on where it will be outdoors.
3) Secure your planting frame.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Hi, what a beautiful piece to add to your outdoor décor! I did this a long time ago but I used an old ice cream parlor type chair that the web seat bottom had been ripped out of and I bought my chair at a yard sale for 3 dollars. Mine was pretty and I loved it but your chair is so much nicer with all it carvings. Since I was using mine under a covered porch I was able to keep my chair from rotting for many years. My question is did you spray any type of sealer on your chair before you planted your plants in it to help protect the wood a little longer? It's to beautiful to let the elements rot it in 2 or 3 years time. If I could find a chair as pretty as yours is I'd do this again in a heartbeat but I think one this fancy should be a focal point on a nice covered front porch where it can be enjoyed for many years to come. Thanks for sharing your lovely floral chair!
