Jack and the Beanstalk : Creative Tin Can Planters

Every Earth Day I end up having memories of grade school. That day I'd bring my tin can to class, play in the dirt,  and plant some seeds. As I gave my seed its first watering, I truly believed my life was about to become a reenactment of Jack and the Beanstalk. I had the name covered, I snagged the seeds without trading a cow, and now this baby was going to grow into something my parents would be proud of. I'd check on my little tin can numerous times a day, hovering over it with a watchful and curious eye, expecting that it would burst through the dirt into a leafy explosion of awesomeness... any. moment. now. Even though it was never quick or theatrical, I was always thrilled the second I saw that itty-bitty bud poking through the dirt. Honestly, I still am. Checking out creative tin planters like these definitely get the green thumb itching: :)

Will you be planting anything green for Mother Earth this weekend? Anyone in your home making their tin cans? If so, I hope you're feeling inspired; it's so fun figuring out new ways to turn trash to treasure. :)

Peace & Happiness,
Jacqueline Lee, a.k.a JACK ;)
