- Set the wood block in the bottom center of the large pot.
- Place annuals in the nursery pots into the large pot, around the wood block. Set the smaller pot on the wood block and fill 1/3 with small river stones.
- Set the pillar candle on the river stones and set out in the garden.
Protect the candle by bringing it indoors between uses, but the planter can stay outside to thrive!
- Melt the old candles in a double boiler. Add citronella oil to the melted wax at a ratio of 1 oz per lb of wax and stir well.
- Pour scented wax into clean tin cans and insert a wick (tab side down). Hold the wick in place for a few minutes so it stays centered as the wax cools.
Cool the candles completely then move them out to the garden to keep the party free of pests.
