Six years ago, information technology service engineer Adesh Zaini, 39, came across beautiful designs of concrete planter boxes on social media platform, Pinterest. She was smitten by them and persuaded her husband, Shahfiq Abd Manap, 39, to buy something similar for their home in Cyberjaya.

The couple visited malls all around Kuala Lumpur, hunting high and low for the concrete planters but came up short. Unperturbed, they decided to make the planter themselves, with some help from YouTube.
