You’ve seen them at yard sales…old tool boxes in all sizes and colors. I love that rusty tin! I had Tom drill a couple holes in the bottom for good drainage, added regular potting soil, and snipped some succulents from the yard. I dipped them in a bit of rooting hormone (I like MiracleGro FastRoot from Lowes) and then plugged them in to damp soil. Don’t be afraid to crowd things in. Looks great in that little corner of the yard or on the patio table.

PS also added a spine of dead cactus in the back, thanks to my dad. Fun to add something of interest!

What a cute idea! I could see something like that working over here with annuals…. lots of purple impatiens for example….
thanks for sharing!

Gena, I would also think any of the new spring annuals would work and look very colorful and fun. Great idea! Hope spring is coming soon to Jersey.
