DIY - make an old kettle herb garden

By / Par: Funky Junk Interiors

Category / Catégorie: Tips and tricks

I love collecting old pots, pans and even kettles. Anything that's vintage AND waterproof is a total bonus. Things that hold other things are just super productive. For what? I'm glad you asked!
 
 
 My latest venture had me filling each old kettle that I had with fresh, grown in Canada, herbs. Aren't they pretty? I love the galvanized appearance of these 'planters'. They're so suitable near a kitchen, as well. Pinch as desired and cook away.

 

Just a bit of potting soil is all it takes. I also like to hide the soil with Spanish Moss. It fills in some gaps as well making potted plants look full and lush.

  
Other unique planter ideas:
  • cookie tins
  • tea tins 
  • mugs
  • mason jars
  • loaf pans
  • muffin pans
How fun and unique! What unique items have you re-purposed for planters?
