You may already have an old bathtub waiting in the wings for a second life as a planter, but if not, Garnet Hill has sourced a whole cadre of them from Hungary, and they're even mini-sized.

Like Architectural Pottery's wonderful but pricey peanut planter, the shape of the enameled porcelain Baby Bathtub is perfect for container gardening on a porch or along a walkway.

We like that it comes with a folding iron stand (in either blue or green), so you don't have to bend down to pluck the weeds.
