This is not my own idea, I stole it from TV.
Was watching Design Star on HGTV couple nights ago and this one kid took stumps and bored some small holes in the flat top of the stump and planted succulents in the holes. Apparently, since they don't need much watering, it's a perfect home for them.
Perhaps you can finish the block somehow to make it pretty and shiny, then drill a couple or three 1" or 2" holes closer to one corner of a block and then plant some smaller succulents in it.
Then you have a nice little finished wood piece with plants growing out of the top.
I thought it was really clever what the kid did on TV because he did the same thing with 18" stumps that were about 30" tall. He drilled some holes close to an edge of the stump, planted about 5 or 6 succulents in them and the result was a rather clever end table with succulents growing right out of it.
Just after I posted this I found a link to the article with a pic [img]https://cdn.sheknows.com/articles/2012/06/melissa_home/Design_Star_0703/DesignStar704_Succulentsidetable_close.jpg[/img]
