What can you do with old wellies that children have grown out of? I usually give them to charity shops so other children can wear them, but sometimes I use them as novelty plant pots. Once I planted Flaming Katies in a pair of child's wellies and gave them to granddad as a gift. Granddads like that sort of thing. Recently I planted up several pairs with herbs and put them by the kitchen door.

Ah, thanks! I have two pairs of tiny wellies and this seems as good a use for them as any!
Grandads LOVE that sort of thing. I feel very sad, and guilty, that mine got lost somewhere in the house clearance and the move to Ireland.
This is one of our favourite activities...our wellies are currently playing host to trailing Lobelia, which looks lovely.
Lovely idea!
Oh, they look fantastic! Will plan that for future outgrown gumboots I think.
