Can stone outdoor flower boxes be designed to deter pests?

Stone outdoor flower boxes are not only elegant but can also be designed to deter pests naturally. Their sturdy material discourages burrowing insects, while proper drainage prevents standing water that attracts pests. Elevating the boxes or adding copper tape can further repel slugs and snails. Pairing these planters with pest-resistant plants like lavender or marigolds enhances their effectiveness. With thoughtful design, stone flower boxes offer a beautiful and functional solution for a pest-free garden.
