Galvanized pipes as planters

While in Santa Ana over the weekend, I saw an ingenious and charming way to display succulents. I am totally stealing this idea for decorating the garden.

Another idea is to use clay chimneys. These gardeners simply dropped plastic pots (the kind the plants come in from the nursery) in the top and, voila!

Finally, the classic concrete planter is alwys a winner. All three of these planters mixed together are going to look fantastic! I am starting this weekend.
