Any of you who have been following along with my Instagram stories lately know that we’ve taken out two biiiiig trees around our patio. I wanted to share our experiences with tree removal with you! Something about removing a big beautiful tree always feels sad to me, and I’ve rarely taken them out without moments of regret that we might be making a mistake. Here are some of the reasons we’ve come to for taking out trees in our own yard.

Our local garden store as a lush vertical garden on a full wall of reclaimed wood… I figured I could make something a little more portable with leftover pallet wood and an extra wire storage basket! Perfect for spring flowers!
