Stemming from the success of an altruistic project that taught Baltimore schoolchildren how to plant gardens with wood pallets, the Fitzbergers have developed an entire book full of ideas for repurposing this unloved wood. This focus on reuse will inspire homeowners and builders alike to find ways to enrich their homes with used materials and avoid the landfill.
