If you thought this scenario was witnessed on my visit to the Kansas City, Missouri, area earlier this week -- WRONG-O! This urban planting option was offered by none other than a Brooklyn resident who had taken a split car tire and a claw-foot bathtub and turned them into stoop-side gardens.
I've seen my share of these displays in rural Missouri and Arkansas, but never in the middle of a big city. (Thank goodness there wasn't an old toilet in this mix!) Now my question to you: While certainly eye-catching and unexpected, do you find this tacky or terrific?

Why does it have to be "either or"? It's tacky AND terrific :)

I am dreaming, about this claw foot bathtub in my hands to refinish it. LOL The tire is so Midwest, they must have had a road trip.
ReplyDeleteWe call it gas station landscaping.
ReplyDeleteLove the tub, especially in the middle of the city. I'm sure it throws everybody off, something different, I'm all for it!
ReplyDeleteI am afraid I'll have to say the tire is tacky and the bathtub could be beautiful, as a bathtub.

I for one think it is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteTerrific, I tell you, beyond terrific. I'm tired of convention in the garden! A scene like this is a feast for the eyes, incredibly inspirational.
ReplyDeleteTerrific! Love them both!
ReplyDeleteThe toilet would be tacky... and so "redneck"! lol!
