I’ve been seeing chicken feeders used as planters on Pinterest for awhile now, and have really been loving them… So when I stepped into the old barn back on the farm, I couldn’t believe my luck when I came across this rusty old chicken feeder laying in the dirt…

How could I not have ever noticed this before?!

When I got home from the farm, I headed to Micahael’s to see what I could find to put into it. Lucky for me, there was a 70%-off rack containing some faux succulents! Total score!

I cut the stems off of most of my faux succulents, unless they had a helpful super bendy stem… I left those ones on to help with placement.

Then I started placing my succulents into the trough. I started in the middle and worked my way out towards each end.
