Reuse Broken or Old Planters

March 31, 2009 3 Comments




Are you ready for a weekend project that will save you money and be great for the environment?
I had a few broken and unused flower pots that I was going to throw away, but now that we have begun our quest to be more green, I decided to think of something to do with them besides throwing them in the land fill. While we were working in the yard, Carter noticed an open spot and I thought I would partially bury the pots (broken side down) and plant some plants in them. I think it turned out pretty good and we reused what would have ended up in the trash.

    Excellent idea. The area looks great, your reuses of the old planters is a great idea. With the flowers and clay figures it really brightens the area up. You could also use broken pitchers or coffee cups in an arrangement. Thanks again for the idea.
