I spoke about this planter I made in a post a few weeks back.
My husband received this tin from one of his vendors which was filled with things like chocolates, cookies and coffee and he decided to bring it home.
He realized I could think of something to do with this piece and “I thought planter”! I painted it using ASCP and I wanted to take the time to show it now that it is filling in with large Coleus and Vinca vine.

I think it is so pretty sitting on one of many concrete benches in our yard and various garden areas.

Hi, Cynthia! I love the colors in that coleus. Great repurposing job on the planter! Looks like that’s what it was made for!
That is what I thought as soon as I saw it.
Cynthia
What a beautiful tin and I would love it either way? Your plants are gorgeous and it is beautiful on the bench. Glad he brought it home!
