I was at my favorite Goodwill store and found a really pretty older very solid pink handled basket. I swear I could sit on it and it wouldn't break, that is how solid it is. The best part is that it only cost me $3!
Of course with the planting season upon me, I decided to use it as a planter for shades of pink and white dianthus, purple and white alyssum and a bit of creeping jenny.
I just lined the planter with clear plastic to keep the soil in...
and cut a few holes in the plastic for drainage.
I think it makes quite a statement...I am hoping the basket will last two summers.
