Find new and creative ways to liven up your garden! Here are 12 unusual flower pots that you can easily plant in. So before you throw out what you think is old junk, take a fresh look at it and think about how you might be able to re-purpose it in your own garden!

When thinking about repurposing old items into pot plants, have a think about how you can line them (maybe with plastic sheeting) and ensure there is adequate drainage for what you’re planting.

1. Old Chest of Drawers

Don’t throw out your old chest of drawers just yet, it could be your latest feature on your balcony.

9. Boat

This is my favourite because it has a great amount of space to plant a beautiful array of flowers and it looks so unique. The blue and white adds a Mediterranean vibe – Greece anyone?
