Rainboot Garden
Today I’m sharing my cute new Rainboot Garden with you. This is a fun way to add a pop of color to your fence or yard and you can use your kids outgrown rain boots or find them all the time at thrift stores too. You can have your kiddos help you plant the flowers and water them too.
We have a large back yard and it still needs lots of love (lots of work…lol). There is a long fence and in a perfect world I will have loads of pretty flowers and trees but for now I am adding color and flowers slowly …….on a budget.
I had seen a couple of these cute Rainboot Garden’s on Pinterest a while back and thought “I want to do that too.” So as I have been out thrift shopping I picked up some cute kids Rain boots. I found them for $2-$5 each so it didn’t cost me that much.
Remember I painted our Plastic Chairs a couple weeks ago? You can see the arrow showing where I added the Rainboot Garden.
Here’s what I was working with. I have some more empty fence space down by the pool and I think it would be so fun to do that pallet garden too.
I cleaned the boots and let them dry.
I went to Home Depot and bought some flowers and they were $1.29 each and I bought 8 . I just planted them in the boots. I nailed 8 nails in the fence and I tied some twin around the backs of the tops of the boots so I could just hang the boots and if I want to change them or move them somewhere else I can easily.
Voila!! Rainboot Garden! I LOVE it. It’s fun and whimsical and very bright. Just what I wanted on that drab colorless fence.

Fab idea.

so how does the water drain out so the flowers don't rot or get overwatered? Did you drill holes in the bottom of the boots?
