Rephrasing my post from above. This is the same brand as the planters I just purchased.It isn't the very best grade of wood, but I'd like to try and keep it new looking and colored for as long as possible, rather than have it weather to gray. Anything work on this soft wood to retain color?

I'll line the inside with weed fabric to keep the soil from washing out. So no toxic worries, just for vanities sake.
