Unique Garden Planters

There are so many options for planters now at garden centers.  But with a bit of creative thought, many outdoor spaces can be enhanced by unique garden planters that originated from items which originally had other uses.

Add Pizazz to your Garden with one of these Unique Garden Planters.

Not only do these planters add pizazz to your garden setting, it is nice to know that you did not have to fork over big bucks to buy one of them.  Larger planters work well for perennial plants that will come back year after year.

Just click on any of the pictures for more details about the planters.

This water spout planter uses crystal beads to add a water drop above the plants. So cute and easy to make!

This fun water spout planter has a stream of water drops made with an old vintage necklace and some tear shaped glass beads.

I like all your ideas here. I made a planter from an old drawer I found on the dumpster.
