Rule of thumb
These out-of-the-norm planters, add tons of texture, character, and whimsy to your garden, and most are very affordable, if not free. Many are repurposed items, that you probably have in your basement, shed, or garage.
More ideas that you can put on your list, for the next time you are out antiquing or checking out the flea market and local garage sales.
Fill them with your favorite ferns and foliage plants for areas with shade or bright color annuals such as lantana, petunias, and geraniums for sunny spots. Some of them would even work well with vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, and other small plants.
