DIY Weekend - Vertical Herb Garden

Nine months ago I found a pallet in pretty good condition in an alley, and like an inspired homeless person, triumphantly dragged it the 6 blocks home. I spent a couple of hours sanding it down, building a french cleat so I could mount it to the wall and then drawing up (what could only be described as) ingenious plans for the vertical herb garden it was destined to be.

Yesterday, motivated by the interior shots I need to take for the new studio website I built going up next week (www.TheLOFTHAUS.com), I finally got around to finishing the project. 

Just in time for my favorite cooking season I now have: Chives, Basil, French Thyme, Rosemary, Parsley, Mint, Oregano and more Basil (because, let's face it, you can never have enough basil). Also, some succulents & lavender for texture, color and a bit of fragrance (but mostly because - here's hoping anyway - I can't kill them).
