Marion Nesbitt on Mar 23, 2015I'd position it in a sunny location, and make it into a jumbo size planter for flowers, herbs, etc. since it has a drain. You could also paint it with metal paint, add a stencil - no end of ideas.Helpful Reply

Margaret Pizzi on Mar 24, 2015What a great find. This could make a really, really awesome planter. Whether its a lush array of flowers or a fountain I think it would be awesome with vibrant color rather than something sedate. I have a "thing" for different so if you did a fountain I would paint it something really eye catching and unexpected like paisley.Helpful Reply

Ellen DeVilbiss on Mar 24, 2015With that lovely depth, how about a water garden AND a fountain. At least a gentle bubbler, not a tall spray. No need for shelves, just set some pots on top of upside down ones so they aren't submerged. Check your garden center for specfic plants.Helpful Reply

Carole on Mar 24, 2015Raised garden bed for sure. Either ornamentals or vegies. Put it in a spot where it will get at least 6 hours of sun per day if you opt to grow vegies in in.Helpful Reply
