I was walking in Williamsburgh last weekend and saw that some clever cat on Bedford Ave. had converted two old tires into some very snazzy planter boxes, and seeing this clever re-use made me happy, and want to share with you. I’d like a huge wall of these, bursting with plants and flowers.

So smart! Does anyone sell these?

Oooooo! Just found an instructional! Thanks wuvie.net!
First I get a yard, then I make the tire planters, then I get the power.

Love.

I haven’t seen these before–Tubs, Baskets, Flower Pots–all made out of recycled tires!

Here is what they say about them:

Yes, you are paying modern design prices, but at least you are contributing to less rubber in landfills. Pretty nifty!
