What are the best woods to use for planter handles or decorative accents?
When selecting wood for planter handles or decorative accents, durability and weather resistance are key. Cedar and teak are top choices due to their natural resistance to rot and insects. Redwood is another excellent option, offering both beauty and longevity. For a budget-friendly alternative, pressure-treated pine can work well if properly sealed. Avoid woods like untreated pine or birch, as they degrade quickly outdoors. Always apply a protective finish to extend the life of your wood accents in garden settings.
