lilplanters Backstory

lilplanters Backstory

lilplanters began as a simple project. I needed a few small pots for my plants, but since I wasn’t a fan of plastic, I decided to make my own out of wood. Those first planters, made from scrap 2x4s, were far from perfect, but they sparked the idea. Not long after, I thought why not share these with others under the name "lilplanters"?

The brand brings together two long-standing interests of mine: plants and woodworking. My interest in plants started early, thanks to my dad’s passion for gardening, while my woodworking journey began back in high school. For years though, I lacked the time and tools to pursue either seriously, but now I finally have the chance to bring them together.

Through lilplanters, my goal is to offer better alternatives to standard plastic plant pots, and in time, I hope to expand our offerings into more plant and home-related items, so stay tuned if that’s something that speaks to you.
