Funny you mentioned that as I had told Dh after I came back from a garage sale and bought a bunch of baskets That I had gotten given to me a matching toliet and urnal from the old school building, Told him I wanted to make a water feature out of the urnal and to make a planter out of the toliet he looked at me and laughed. Why not you already made a planter out of the old BBQ grill and now shoes and boots so why would that surprise me.

I just haven't gotten them picked up yet as we haven't decided where they need to go in the sceme of the yard area Give me time I will figure it out

Thanks for the link now I can show DH how good they may bloom

That type of gardening is for rednecks
But yeah it would be cool to give it a go, i hope you will try it i'm interested in seeing the progress of it. Maybe that part of the toilet on the top you could put water in for the plants, than have the flowers in the toilet area, .... oh are you going to keep the toilet seat up or down for the plants

Enjoy! I hope your husband will like the idea.

My sister has a flower "pot" in her front yard (a nice toilet). her neighbor has tons of these weird old props in his front yard (a giant shark head, and giant tree branch with a giant vulture on it etc) so she is trying to out trash him. She has flowers in the back (where the water fills up) and in the pot (where the fertilizer goes). She also has a pink flamingo with clothes for the seasons and different hollidays.

Oh and my mom had a flower "bed". She had an old metal bedframe that she had out front and planted a lovely garden in between - I thought it was great, but not many people got to see it as their house was far off the road (they just moved last week out of our family home ). It was great though.

Our Neighbor has a flower bed with bed frame and it is always pretty :rainbow-sun
I think that a toilet Flower Pot can be done in a tasteful manor. Do you have pic's of your sister's Flower Pot? Myself I have never been a big fan of a big load of yard ornament plastics scattered through out a lawn. They too can be done in an tasteful direction. :mow
But I suppose since I live in a moble home on our property that a toliet Flower pot would be a Red Neck item

I just like to reclaim and reuse items that can have another use than be put in the land fill

Happy planting and potting :watering
