Wheel barrel planter.
I’m a sucker for unique planters. I really love it when ordinary objects are brought to new heights, simply because of an hibiscus or succulent that instantly dresses it up like a skilled celebrity stylist. Today’s peek at some around-the-town snapshots I took of such planters will hopefully inspire and bring you some outdoor decor joy.

Wood crate and tin can planter.
{Wood crate and tin can planter}: So simple. Painted tin cans cheer up a vintage, made-into-a wagon beverage crate which results in this cutie-patootie planter! A one of a kind I found at the Long Beach Antiques Market.
Horse trow planter.
{Horse trow planter}: This corrugated container has an industrial vibe, and does an excellent job greeting Manhattan Beach’s Circa Restaurant guests.
Jelly jar herb planter.
{Jelly jar herb planter}: Inside Circa, cooks actually grow herbs inside mason jars that double as hanging window dressing.
Wagon planter and transporter.
{Wagon planter and transporter}: This was a happy accident! As I was transporting plants from my truck to the backyard using my beach wagon, I discovered an whole new use for it during the cooler months…this whimsical planter!
What ordinary objects have you used as planters?
