    My Grandmother told my Grandfather for years, if he left his small boat in the yard, she'd plant flowers in it! I understand completely!

    Many years ago a customer was being moved by her company didn't want to move their small skiff. I told her to make a planter out of it--it got moved as part of her household goods. Don't know if she left it as a planter or turned it back into a boat, but at least she didn't have to pay extra to take it with her.

    I have seen a lot of different things used as planters, but this is my first kayak. Cute.

    Have a couple of friends that have made planters out of their old row boats. Totally nautical.

    How in the world did he cut out the cockpit? Kayaks are made of tough stuff.

    I used a jig saw to cut it out. Worked really well, then drilled many, many holes in the bottom for drainage.

    How about blue glass chips under it and it would really look like water - sparkles and all.

    Another "garden" idea for a boat.. when you have a large summer party, 4th of July, etc.. and you need a great place for beverages.. just fill that boat.. or a section.. with ice. .and there you have storage for all .. section the boat for kids beverages/ and then adult beverages a the other end. .I used this for a daughters "informal" wedding reception.. it went with her theme .. and was creative. was a hit
