Love should be celebrated everyday of course, it’s the most powerful positive emotion.
So I wish you a happy Valentine’s day, your love and support means a lot ❤

Totem by Wolf Vostell
Located at the Vostell Museum in Malpartida de Cáceres, Spain, Wolf’s symbolic totem pole combines the holy powers of technology and transportation (and birds, apparently… definitely the triumvirate).

An old Volkswagen bus-turned-planter, at the Dallas Arboretum – a fine addition to the old-cars-used-in-gardens group.

Brilliant! And a great addition to the “beverage carton-repurposing” idea file.
Spotted on Facebook, on the Grow Food, Not Lawns community gardening page here. (If you’re aware of the original source, please tell us — I wasn’t able to track it down.)
Other garden-related ideas can be found in earlier Unconsumption posts hereand here.

Have a piece of PVC pipe that’s old and/or leaking?
Repurpose it into a planter. Cut it open, punch holes into the bottom (for drainage), and cap the ends.
The plastic pipe material is lightweight and durable.
What else would you do with scrap pipe pieces?

“Gardening with repurposed objects” is a recurring theme here on Gardens in Unexpected Places.
Today, I’m pleased to add this item to the mix: a boombox garden.
A pretty good new use for a dead boombox, isn’t it?

“An old chair is given new life through the introduction of botanical life.”
Okay, I’m interested.
According to Design Boom:
sao paulo-based artist rodrigo bueno lives and works in what he calls the ‘jungle inside’, a living laboratory where nature and time meet. his studio is filled with reclaimed materials — mostly wood and plants collected from urban waste — which he transforms into installations, sculptures, paintings and objects. …
one of his recent creative endeavors has seen him untie colorful botanical life with furniture, intertwining bark, branches and leaves into fabric cushions and chair legs. the quotidian objects come alive with new purpose, ever-changing in shape, size and color.
It’s not clear to me how practicalthis is, but certainly turning disused chairs into planters sounds cool!

Campaign Aims to Turn Abandoned Bicycles’ Saddles into Outdoor Planters
Nuff said!
Up-CYCLING, yeah!
I must say this is a fab addition to the Gardens in Unexpected Places archive of gardening examples that involve upcycled/disused bicycles and/or bike parts.

In the Palestinian village of Bilin – near the West Bank city of Ramallah – residents have planted flowers in hundreds of spent Israeli tear gas grenades collected after clashes with Israeli security forces.
The garden is “meant to show that life can spring from death.”

Want to turn an old chair into a piece of garden furniture? (Note emphasis on the word “garden.”)
Here’s an example, complete with tutorial, via Bridgman Furniture.

I love thrift store shopping and often come across items that just don’t seem to move. The slide carousel is #1. Coffee makers are a strong second. And number 3, is old briefcases. I guess no one wants to look behind the times when it comes to business, so there they sit. I can’t stand to think of anything being left out, so I put my thinking cap on and came up with a way to get them back into circulation . I introduce to you the Portable Park for all your picnic time needs.
Would you call this a garden in an unexpected place? I’m pretty sure the answer is “yes.”
