Check out these planters!

very urban garden Arlene, im trying to make my mind up if i like them or not.. maybe if i saw them planted up..

im the same as you Dee, but im also thinking that they look like they would be very easy to make ourselves

This looks like the stuff they use 2keep back grass banks when theyv made new Roads/By-Passes?But Much Smaller :)

~ are they called gabion baskets-I saw one with a tall green plant and it looked good! I think you can get a basket and fill it up yourself-saw one with pebbles in instead of the slate.~

i bought one of these for my sisters birthday. it had glass pebbles in it...

Have you got a pic Sandra ?

hi Sandra
~where did you get it from?~

non pic i'll have to ask my sister. dee
i bought them off a man with a stall at the botanic gardens arlene

~was that recently?~The reason I didn't get one was that they were quite heavy and the car was pretty full~what plant has your sister got in it?~

Are they made this heavy to keep the wind from blowing things over or is it just a good way for drainage etc. I wonder?

~~I think it must be a bit of both!~can't find a site online so hope that Sandra will be able to givel us some info!~

I bet orchids would love to live in there!
