DESIGN NAME: Growing Rescued
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Garden Planter
INSPIRATION: Our Mill, like any other, was creating tons of odd-length pieces of scrapped cedar wood each year. There had to be better ways to utilize this seemingly scrap wood. Light-bulb moment, join the small pieces together to make beautiful mosaic boards for garden planters. Sustainable in material and sustainable home garden.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: During a typical milling process, cedar pieces are cut from longer board stock. These pieces are gathered in bins and typically discarded. We “rescue” this material, glue the little pieces together, and turn them into beautiful usable boards to manufacture garden planters. Why does Rescue wood matter? Because no new trees are specifically harvested to produce this planter, eco-friendly and beneficial to responsible forestry practices. In addition we only use sustainably gown SFI/PEFC cedar.
