Metal Containers


Metal Containers are great cause they can vary so much in shape, size, color, style, and finish. Here are two simple examples. Neither of these was intended for outdoor plants. The top one was a simple galvanized tin bucket used for decoration. Put a few holes in it and it is a planter. The ice plant does well in this one. I would probably choose a different plant next time for this planter, but it works.

The bottom one here was intended to be an indoor container that you can put either fake plants in or place a separate plastic pot inside. I liked it for an outdoor planter, so again, I put a few holes in it and planted.

Containers like these can be bought at thrift stores for almost nothing.
