16: Funky Containers: How to Convert Old Treasures and Flowers into Masterpieces

Growing flowers, herbs, and vegetables in containers is a great way to brighten a patio or garden area. Often, choosing the container can be just as much fun as choosing what to grow! In this episode, we’re going to step out of the box — or should I say, out of the pot — and explore the many ways to create whimsical garden masterpieces from “junky treasures” with my guest, author and nursery owner Stacey Mann.

Stacey shares how she got into the nursery business, and talks about her new book, Funky Containers: How to Convert Old Treasures into Masterpieces. Lucky for us, she also shares her tips and “how-to’s” for combining a love of gardening with a love of junking to create stunning container masterpieces from repurposed pieces — like old toy trucks, vintage bathtubs and everything in between!
