Holland with Kids

You're headed to Holland, MI with kids? Here are my recommendations.

Holland State Park - Great views of the channel, Big Red Lighthouse. Big beach, popular (avoided by locals) on weekends. Playground, snack shop, bathrooms. Paid vehicle entry.
Tunnel Park - Mile north of Holland State Park. Great beach. Climb to the top for the best views, or go through the tunnel for easy beach access (do both). Playground, bathrooms. Paid vehicle entry.

Saugatuck Dunes State Park - 1/2 mile beach trail is easy, or do one of the longer trails if you want more hiking. We go here all year, great spot. Paid parking, or park free in the township park lot for one of the longer hikes (recommend

my modifications:

Mine is two 2×8′s tall. That seemed to be deep enough for tomatoes/peppers/etc.
I used treated lumber (2nd most expensive variety at Lowe’s, IIRC) unfinished, unpainted. Treated lumber can be bad if it leeches into the potting mix, but since it doesn’t touch our mix (plastic sheeting) there’s no worry!
I used a 2" or 3" pvc fill pipe instead of the water bottles. Grab one at Lowe’s, and it’ll be long enough for two planters.
I snaked the drain pipe instead of cutting, having the two open ends flush against a wall. Was a bit difficult to keep flat. Enlist a helper or two, or cut.
bring the black plastic sheeting all the way up the sides. After filling with dirt, cut it flush with the sides.
I put black plastic on top too, tucking it into the sides. You could put mulch overtop, but I was lazy.
