The idea of using an old wheelbarrow as a planter is not new. In fact I think it is fair to say that this is a practice that has been followed ever since the invention of the wheelbarrow. Even if you do not own an old barrow you can just buy a reproduction model designed for use as a planter. Personally I like the look of a wooden wheelbarrow even if it is slightly rotten, but I remain to be convinced that a metal model that is rusting at the edges makes an attractive feature in the garden. Take a look at these twenty-five examples which I found on the Garden Lovers Club website and see what you think.
