Planters.

I like finding different objects that I can use as planters.
I saved the base of my Christmas tree and today my husband has been hollowing it out and drilling holes for drainage.
I'm not sure what plants to use yet but I think maybe a few low growing Alpines.

Re: Planters.

Me too mall. I've got a ceramic ball with a dark red rosette plant in it, I think it looks good.

That sounds like it would look dramatic and impressive. I like unusual planters.

Re: Planters.

we were given a couple of huge tea cups which were designed to use as planters, the design is a floral pattern.

Re: Planters.

I'd be frightened to put them out Kitty, just in case they get damaged

Re: Planters.

I was looking for something to fill the garden up, I would have liked a plough or even a rowing boat but it didnt happen, when I can figure it out I will send some pictures.
