Did you know that any old wheelbarrow can become a spectacular new planter for your garden? With a little bit of effort and style, you can create your own unique design!

Old and retired gardening gear makes for a great addition to the garden itself. For an easily planted, whimsical landscaping idea, you can roll an old wheelbarrow into any open space in the garden, planting it with a beautiful collection of flowers.

The portable nature of this type of planter means that you can move it for special occasions like garden parties, or simply reset your garden’s focal point on a whim. With a broad base offering plenty of planting space, you can easily rearrange the look of your garden once the centerpiece is on wheels!

One tip we’ve picked up is to line metal wheelbarrow vessels with some heavy-duty plastic. This will keep it from degrading further and rusting into the soil. If you notice any holes, pull the plastic through and snip it to allow for drainage. Once you’ve filled the wheelbarrow with soil, let your imagination run away with planting ideas!
