Be inspired by 20 unique planter ideas from talented bloggers all over the net. Unusual planters can add whimsy and fun to your outdoor decor.
I’ve rounded up several unique planter ideas to inspire you this season. There are so many, from fun and whimsical, to fancy and practical.
Rule of thumb: If it holds soil, and you can put a hole in it, then you can plant in it.
These out of the norm planters, add tons of 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. Others are things you can put on your list, for the next time you are out antiquing or checking out the flea market and local garage sales.
