Bringing The Inside Out

Project by Bon posted 770 days ago 390 views 0 times favorited 14 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I had this milking container in the basement doing nothing.We got a beautiful easter basket given to us this year and I took the plants from it and planted them in the milk container and put them outside in late May.They have been thriving ever since.The giraffe used to sit in a corner of the sunroom.I thought it looked nicer outside with the elephant.I have no idea what the plants are called.There was no tags with the basket.

I like it. I had part of a cream separator stuffed with plants as well in the past. It rusted out too much to use this year though.

My neighbour had a gorgeous blue elephant which she put into her garden. Unfortunately, she didn’t bring it in for the winter, and it cracked. Hopefully yours will be weather proof, Bon.
