Last week my daughter and I went to a local nursery ..They had the cutest baskets planted with flowers,
watering cans and wicker picnic hampers too ! The picnic hamper above is my daughters .. She loves those African daisies !So off we went to the Goodwill and Salvation Army .. we bought a bunch of cheap baskets ..then on to the Home Depot to buy some flowers..
Here are our versions , our flowers need to grow in and we will need some warm weather for that !The above basket is huge ! On our way to Home Depot it was hanging out of someones garbage can :)
We used Miracle Grow potting soil and just planted right in the baskets. The baskets were 99 cents to $4.00 for the picnic hamper.
This basket was 99 cents and has a fabric liner..
These are my daughters..
I will show you all these again when they start to grow and fill in !
Hope you all have a wonderful week ! Thanks so much for stopping by ! I would love for you to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest , Etsy..all the links are in the sidebar !
Linking to these fabulous parties !

What a darling idea! I have oodles of baskets! Whenever I see them, I buy them at GW and SA. I have a lot I can use for this. Once, many years ago, I received a beautiful basket of plants and when I planted it in the soil, I just planted the whole basket! I will be doing this for sure!!!

Your baskets look great. I have a lot of baskets also. I will be planting some flowers in mine also.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great idea.
Have a wonderful week.

Well those are cute as buttons! Great idea :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea, Priscilla! I'll have to go down to the basement to see if my husband saved any of my old baskets (he's been on a cleaning kick lately and it's driving me crazy!).
ReplyDeleteAll the baskets, etc. look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYippee I have another reason to go to my favorite thrift stores!!!
ReplyDeleteThey look great! Fun way to plant your flowers!
ReplyDeleteI love planting flowers in unique containers. Your baskets are stunning.
ReplyDeletewould love to have you share this post over at this weeks garden party at Fishtail Cottage - super cute and clever idea! love it! xoxo, tracie
ReplyDeletePriscilla,
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea!! I will surely try to do at least one or two like this!!
I just bought my annuals for the front of the house today and got them planted. We are finally out of the threat for Frost season!!
Thanks for stopping by!!
Hugs,
Deb
Totally adorable!
ReplyDeleteI do love flowers planted in baskets! I have one (a moss covered thrift find) out on my porch. You did a great job on yours! One year I went to our local nursery and saw a giant basket planted it was at least 4 feet long. It was only $50 and my daughter was getting married in Aug. I bought it and placed it at the edge of our deck. It was the hit of the wedding. I had it for 4 or so years before it finally just fell apart. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,

Oh I love this idea! I'll be following you now...I can't wait to see the baskets again!!
ReplyDeleteThese look great! I love planted picnic baskets.
