Perfect Gift For Dad and Grandpa

Look no further, here is our really fun, totally unique DIY gift for dad, and its sizzling!

Grill Magic Garden aka Dad Magic Garden

Dads love to grill. Grandpas love to grill too and this is the perfect DIY gift for them both. This Magic Garden was made from a Weber Grill found on trash day. You know us Magic Gardeners, we love a good dumpster dive when it comes to creating totally cool stuff. We used a sunflower like perennial because it can be planted in the yard at the end of the season. And we added herbs because these are fun in the summer for adding to grilled dishes. This is such a fun and unique Father’s Day or Birthday Gift or anyone that loves to grill.

IMPORTANT Magic Tip:

40lbs of dirt added to the grill (which is what was needed to fill the grill) MAY break the legs and send the entire grill toppling over – this is why all the pictures post dirt the grill is on the ground and with a terrible background. Despite the broken legs, the Grill bowl, looked really cool full on plants and with a car scene, a neighbor is using the Dad Magic Garden as a Father’s Day Gift.
