I've got this massive decommissioned telegraph pole taking up space in the corner of my yard, and I'm looking for creative ways to utilize it. I was thinking about painting it and hanging some plants, or maybe even creating a planter that could allow plants to climb up the pole. Any fun or interesting suggestions from you guys?

You could also consider cutting it into four pieces and using them as corner posts for a garden fence or something similar. Just an idea to add some support to your yard!
If you're into crafting, you might want to try carving it! You could attach vintage signs or paint it in a funky color to give your garden a cool eclectic vibe.
You could wrap the pole in some plastic trellis material and plant a clematis to let it climb. They die back in winter, but it could look great! Or how about jasmine? It stays green all year and smells amazing!
That sounds like a fantastic idea! Maybe I can even paint the pole and add some bee houses to it too.
A picture would really help us brainstorm more ideas for that pole! It might give us a better sense of how to creatively use it.
I love that idea! I'm creative but haven’t done any real carving yet. Definitely willing to try something new!
