caffeinated garden whimsy

in addition to the coffee pot i posted last week, i also had this old percolator. this time, instead of planting in it, i decided to hang it on a small garden hook that was previously holding a little lantern. i positioned it over a coffee cup that is planted with a succulent and placed that on a cinder block that i spray painted orange! these are all things i already had. they were just here and there. think outside the (planter) box and let your imagination run wild. what do you think of my little caffeinated vignette?

looking for something unusual for your garden? bring your love of coffee to your garden by planting in an old coffee pot. this old pot was in a box of items i was going to donate but instead i decided to repurpose it. it brings a touch of the unexpected to my garden and i love it.

tip: when planting in containers, fill the bottom with plastic bottles from your recycle bin. it'll take up extra space and save you on potting soil.
