Make a Garden Planter From a Mailbox!

Make a Garden Planter From a Mailbox!

When driving with a friend past her bank of mailboxes, we turned to see a workman replacing an OLD with a NEW mailbox for my friend’s next door neighbor. ‘Hmmm, would they be tossing out the old one,’ we asked?

That’s how this mailbox eventually came into my possession. I love it,…it’s big and heavy! I know just what I’ll do, and you all will see the result…someday soon.

Lesson:

It pays to let your friends know you like old junk for the garden..

A friend snagged this mailbox for me, nice and heavy and perfect for my future planter as we passed the workman removing it.

I protested,..’no, don’t bother,…really! Oh, no, please don’t ask!’ But my friend had already walked over to talk to her neighbor’s house saying, ‘if it was for me I wouldn’t, but for you….’ Oh, my! Embarrassing!
