Doll Carriage Planter

I found this large vintage doll carriage at the dump and decided it had to come home with me.
I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it.
But it certainly didn't deserve to end up as landfill.
Once I got it home I found this plastic bin in my greenhouse , and it fit perfectly.
I added a few pieces of scrap wood to fill in the gap beneath the bin.
It's really a perfect fit. Like they were made for each other.
I filled it with good quality, moisture retaining, pre-fertilized potting soil and added some purply/blue pansies and sweet alyssum .
I still need to do something to the outside of the plastic bin, but until I decide what I'm calling it done. Its white colour matches the outside of the wheels so I'm OK with it for now.
Enjoyed the project?
