Repurposed Planters

Every day we see things that we no longer use -- but what if we use our imagination and use them for some other purpose?  Here are a few ideas for plants:



An old bathtub
makes a nice place
to plant petunias
or other vining flowers


As a writer,
I'm not sure
I could do this
to a typewrter!












I love the whimsy
and color
of the rain boots!






an old chair,
painted up,
makes a good backdrop
for greens and flowers











Simple buckets attached
to a fence.... I would have
loved this when I had a
small apartment sized yard
in Ohio!








Hanging an old piece of gutter
makes for a perfect shelter
for smaller plants



Coffee cans painted
and attached to a brick wall
adds a striking contrast

Block Planter



This would make a boring block wall more interesting... and functional!
