Buying larger planters for container gardens can get expensive. So, I decided to head to the dollar store and see if I could find a thrifty alternative. And I did! These wastebaskets come in several fun and bright colors. And the handles make it perfect to move around! The pictures below are of “Italian” planters I created. I included a Roma tomato, a sweet basil and a purple basil. I have also made “salad” planters with different lettuces in them.

Create a fun and thrifty container garden.

Grab some wastebaskets from the Dollar Tree. I really liked these because of the bright colors and the handles.

Beautiful container gardens!
