I love using unusual containers and fun items in my garden.  The first is an old wash tub.  Next a broken chimenea.  An old birdbath with a crack is perfect for bog plants!  Next is an antique strawberry wire plant stand my mom had.  The yellow chair was in my parent's sunroom while I was growing up...it had been white!  Finally, these are my old crocs!  Hope you enjoy my garden!

I love the plants in the crocs. Great idea!!!

I agree! Very sweet hanging on the chain link fence!

 

THANKS! Surprisingly, the plants are doing really well! I thought they would be short lived!!!
I'll bet the holes in them help with drainage. I know I'm going to try it next year!!
you do wonderful work i love to use odd things to plant in about 10 years ago i used old shoes on the porch. then everyone was doing it. its a great way to recycle. my husband has an antique bed pan he put panisys in. he uses it every year. how fun it is to play. patricia
