An Antique Crib Becomes a Garden

This is upcycling that sticks to a theme – growing things. First the crib was used for growing humans. Now it’s used for flowers and herbs – and seeing as how safety standards have advanced a bit since this was in use, that’s probably a good thing.

Make a (safe) Strawberry Garden

I’ve  seen a  lot of pallet projects around but this one impressed me not only for the good design and tutorial, but because you get a bonus lesson on which pallets are safe to use. Pallets that move between countries get treated for bugs – either via heat or chemicals. Guess which ones you shouldn’t use? Tanya from Lovely Greens will not only show you how to make this wonderful strawberry garden, she’ll show you how to tell if your pallets are safe to use.

Recycled Tire Trellis

I saw this posted on a friend’s Facebook page – what a clever idea. If your bicycle tires have seen better days, don’t chuck them, garden with them.
