Recycled

If you are looking for something to begin your container garden this season and don’t want to spend extra cash for a fancy container, start looking around your house for items that you would under normal circumstances throw away. Creative containers you may find are old tires, old soda bottles, or even shoes that have reached the their end of life for their original purpose. Believe it or not, these items make unique and creative containers for your plants and are great conversation starters when you have guests over.

Hanging

Are you running out of room on the ground for your plants? Well another idea to consider when looking for a different way to add to your garden for small spaces are to plant in containers that can be mounted on a wall or hung from your roof. Creative containers you may be able to find or make from items in your home are metal pitchers with handles, chandeliers, mason jars, or even some of those old purses that you no longer  use because they have gone out of style.

Tiered

Finally, tiered containers provide you with the option to optimize space and to separate plants for your garden. Some creative containers you may be able to utilize in a tiered approach are old water fountains, old dressers, wine barrels, or even concrete blocks.
