From Broken To Beautiful

Mr Jack Frost can have a detrimental effect on the terracotta and ceramic pots in my garden and it’s seldom a winter will pass without some casualties!

I tend to use the broken pieces as drainage at the base of other plantings.  But then I saw a post over at Broadsheet yesterday and I thought it was just the cutest thing.

How about these for creative ways to recycle your broken plant pots!

If creating these works of art is a bit too much hard work for you, how about just using the broken pieces as plant or herb markers.  So simple its brilliant.

If you’re looking for me, I’ll be in the garden smashing terracotta pots  😛
