Recycling and reusing are green ways to help the planet. This article is dedicated to whimsical recycled plant containers that made from many useless household objects.
As long as those old things can support soil and allow for drainage, you can reuse almost anything for planters, from plastic bottles, floppy dicks, old books… to old toilets.

Plant pot lighthouse
Brighten your garden with DIY clay pot lighthouses. Get your kids involved by getting them to design the pots in whatever way they want! Use pots of different sizes and stack them largest to smallest once you have decorated them, finally glue the lantern on top and you have lit up the world…Your garden’s world.
Rainforest in a bottle
