Thanks Miriam for sharing some of the planter ideas @ www.themicrogardener.com ... it's quite amazing what you can grow a garden in - for little or no cost. I'm all for treading a little lighter on the planet when we can, so repurposing materials and containers is another way we can do our bit whilst still finding a functional use in the garden. Here are a couple more ideas to ...»
inspire you with timber pallets. See http://themicrogardener.com/20-creative-ways... for more creative ideas. Cheers, Anne - The Micro Gardener

LOVE !! The sharp, prickley catus planted in the "stilletto" ~~ Makes me think of how my feet hurt when wearing them.

@Bonnie, Me too, that is if I ever wear them. My feet don't like 'em. @Anne great ideas. I will have to try some for my indoor plants. I have to have suculents inside because I kill everything else. Outside is another story.

LOVE!!! I recently came across two woven purses that I had "stuffed" in the back of my closet and forgot about. They both had some problem or other and I cannot remember why I never got rid of them...but I am happy, now, that I did not... :) TY for the idea!!!

Here are a few other creative container ideas ... a wheelbarrow planter, gumboots for kids (SO much fun to make!) and a succulent basket. Which is your favourite?

I've got mint growing in mine after they split ... it's a quirky garden feature.

Love the sink and the gumboots are totally adorable. Put one of the shoe bags up there too along with some beach find flip flops. Think I'll have to do some thrift store shopping this weekend.
