An outdoor chalkboard sounds like a great idea for those creative children who love to draw on any and all surfaces. Keeping the chalk outside means less mess and less cleanup. But what about the harsh weather? Chelsea and Logan from Making Manzanita created a weatherized box to encase their chalkboard and protect it from the elements. As an added touch, they added a live garden to create the perfect roof.
