White picket fences....of plastic

When I saw these two white picket fence planters outside my door I thought, 'aha! Someone who knows I like free (and plants) has been here!'  True to form, they were a friendly find from someone who also enjoys a good deal but didn't have a green thumb. I assume they are planters, or cachepots, what else would they be, right? 

So free and so clean clean.

These lil' white picket fence containers cleaned up just fine.  The color was right but I didn't have a good space for them, luckily a new friend moved to town and needed some plants. Perfect timing!  I was able to take some small pothos cuttings and snake plant (Sansevieria) cuttings to get my friend started on their indoor greenery landscape.

So happy together

That's it. A rather simple story, which played out a few months ago, but a nice way to pay it forward with plants.

Happy freestyling and gardening!

How to make a plant pot out of a yogurt container

When practicing freestyle and gardening you never know what type of potential cachepot is going to come your way.  It could be ceramics, baskets, odd-shaped metal containers or even shoes, who knows. But if you want to turn something into a plant-holder there are a few essentials to consider, ok, really one essential, and that is water management. 

How will you provide drainage for the plant and prevent leakage? In my case the solution is through the reuse of plastic containers - one with holes added and one without holes.  Read on to see more.
