I love making things out of rubbish! I got the idea of making recycled planters that could be hung around my community garden site, with herbs and other things growing in them.
I got lots of inspiration by looking at similar projects online. This one by artist Hayley Fern is particularly good!
I'd been asked to do a plant pot painting session so I thought I'd get crafty with some milk bottles. We painted a few but I'd like to quite a lot of planters like this to go at the Secret Garden and around the area.
Here are a couple that I've painted up to look like strawberries, which I hope will be fixed onto a wall to form part of a community mural.
