We like to imagine these Zinc containers nestled in the scene of a rustic greenhouse while a nimble-fingered botanist prunes and plucks away. The ribbed design and coarse texture of the metal work give the planters an antique and industrial look. Be sure to line them with plastic if you intend to use them as planters as the bases are not completely welded shut. Flip them upside down to use them as risers to display curiosities and plants alike.
