Coconut Garden Planters
Page 1 of 2 This material was provided by Go-Nuts
Here's a great way to decorate your home and garden. We've talked before about containers and hanging planters, and this is a beautiful, natural example. These coconut garden planters come from Hawaii, but I'm sure if you're keen (and careful) you can create them yourself. The orchid on page 2 is very popular, and a fun project.
Our planters are about the size of footballs and are all natural coconuts. We use every part of the nut, the meat is sun dried and pressed into oil, the cut out portion of the husk is shredded into plant medium and the shell is burned into charcoal. The nut has been designed and cut to hang (wire loop included) as you would hang a picture anywhere in your home, yard or greenhouse.
The nuts are virtually indestructable, and we have many nuts hanging around Hawaii and other parts of the planet that have weathered many a storm. This planter on the left is hanging on a fence in full sun and salt spray at the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii.
So have fun with your coconut. Plant something in it and hang it anywhere you want. Kitchen window with herbs or aloevera. Bathroom with ferns and orchids. Silk and artificial plants for low maintainance. Cacti and bedding plants. Hang an empty nut by the backdoor for keys and coins.
