Handbag Potplants






As we all know - gardening is heaps of fun - but can be very expensive.


One of the children in Leabank Square came up with a brilliant idea for potting our canalside plants - re-cycle a handbag that had been thrown into the wheelie bin.


It worked so well that we took a trip to a few charity shops & got loads more for much cheaper than we would've had to fork out for new pots - and looks far more interesting than boring pots anyway!!

What a great idea?!

Can you please extend the bags all along the canal right up to the last block?

I have a couple of spare handbags I can't flog on eBay - where should I hand them in?

PS They look bootiful from the other side of the canal!

Hi Jealous Greenie

No need to be jealous Greenie - we will gladly spread the re-cycled handbagged flowers down to your end of the canal.

And YES PLEASE - we do need more handbags as well. We will be doing the rest in a couple of weeks - so please save up any old handbags till then - and if you have any spare time - you're more than welcome to come down & join us!!

Thanks for the support - we really appreciate it!

Thanks

Hi

I'll be there on Sunday.

I don't really know anything about gardening - is that okay?
