Gum boot garden planters

We do not often promote design ideas from the Brownies. But here goes! It seems like a nice idea for a planter which would appeal to little girls with brown uniforms and a sense of fun.

Terracotta pot with internal glazing

Terracotta is a beautiful material for garden pots. But it has two big problems (1) the plants tend to dry out if you do not water them each morning and each evening in hot weather (2) if saturated in winter then the terracotta tends to crack. This design provides a good solution – the salt glaze on the inside prevents water movement through the terracotta.
