The size is perfect for potted indoor plants and the look of them transforms a plant into a work of art that looks great in any garden setting.

The watering can does not have to be large to make a great planter. This small watering can from Succulents Galore on Etsy makes the perfect planter for the Panda plant succulent planted in it. (Succulents can be used in so many types of planters. See more succulent planter ideas here.) This pretty watering can planter is over flowing with pink petunias. I love the contrast of the planter against a painted window sill. It gives the whole look a European country feeling. More Watering Can Garden Art

This metal watering can is one that my mother had indoors. I use it as a garden decor item sitting on a flagstone piece and love the way it has rusted and aged.

This project featured in the Portland Press Herald is sure to delight. It features pieces of mosaics glued to watering cans and then finished with sealant.

How about you? I found this adorable critter on Access Garden Products.
This pink watering can with the yellow spout makes the perfect garden accent. It coordinates with the moss on the wall and the pretty pink flowers beautifully!~ Sometimes a watering can used on its own turns the whole scene into a vignette. These garden cans don’t need to be planted. The way they are staged is the art itself! You can certainly use different things to what I did these are just some scrap materials I had lying around in the shed from other projects or things I'd scavenged (my favorite past time!).My drums had been clean engine oil drums and I used a hammer and chisel to gentle cut the top out, then bent any sharp pieces over.
How is this for creativity? Melissa from The Empress of Dirt combines craft store glass pendants and galvanized watering cans for a rain like effect. She shows how to do this tutorial on her blog. This 4 pot self-watering planter waters your plants at the optimal times, keeping the soil at the perfect moisture levels – never too dry or waterlogged. This means that your plants roots have better access to oxygen which fuels faster growth meaning you generate bigger harvests of your favourite tomatoes, aubergines, sweet peppers, beans, cucumbers, courgettes, peas and all other tall-cropping plants. How does the Quadgrow work? The Quadgrow is eco-friendly as it is made from recycled plastic. This means that you can be proud that you are helping the planet by growing in a sustainable way without any harm done. Furthermore, as the planter re-uses water from its reservoir you are helping reduce water waste. Contents: Do you have watering can planters or garden art in your yard? I’d love to see a photo of it in the comments below. I’ll add my favorites to this post!This pretty scene is both functional and decorative. The galvanized planter is ready to use when it’s time to water and also makes a lovely decorative touch sitting hear the flowering plants. Watering cans can be re-purposed into creative planters and projects, or used in dozens of other ways in the garden as garden art, water features or garden decorations.
Recycling is also a small step that we can take to protect the environment at home. I am always on the lookout for new and unusual ideas for eco-friendly planters. Today, we’ll be using watering cans to showcase our plants. Next I had some old hand trolley wheel I split and took the rubber tyres and tube off. All you need is the center piece.
This watering can planter is the perfect color combination. The pale lilac watering can makes an idea planter for the vibrant purple flowers. So pretty! I also had some old bike wheels lying around off the kids old bikes and cut one of those in half and removed all the spokes.
