Garden Planter - Turn a Kiddie Pool into a Garden Planter

Garden Planter - Turn a Kiddie Pool into a Garden Planter

You could put this garden planter on a deck or mine is sitting in my driveway. Be cautious about putting it directly on your lawn, because it will kill the grass under it.

Contorted Hinoki Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Torulosa’)
Yellow Ice Plant (Delosperma nubigenum)
Snow-In-Summer (Cerastium tomentosum)
I love contorted shrubs and trees - imperfection is beautiful in my eyes. Either that or it’s because I’m a little warped myself! Mom picked out the Yellow Ice Plant and the Snow-In-Summer. After waiting so long for the snow and ice to disappear, I can’t believe we’re intentionally putting some in the garden.
In order to plant the new items, some of the rocks/stones had to be removed.
