10 of the best ideas for indoor garden upcycled pots for Earth Day – a round up

We LOVE the idea of repurposing old dolls and toys for indoor garden plant pots  – who doesn’t love a Doll head planter!

And with Earth Day on the 22nd April every year, it’s the perfect excuse to look at how we can work to lessen the impact of junk and throwaway items, and bring some nature into the house with these indoor garden DIY ideas. Nothing quite like starting a container garden!

Some look a bit ‘creepy’ and have made us chuckle, but some really are quite adorable, have a look through our favourite 15 and let us know what you think! Having an indoor garden is a great idea – not only do plants improve air quality, encouraging a child to care for a plant is a useful way to teach responsibility, and hey, cheaper than a pet! Here’s 10 of the best ideas for indoor garden upcycled pots for Earth Day.

Doll head planter

I think this Encanto inspired Dolls Head Planter is the least creepy of the lot.. so if you are going for the vintage dolls planter look. Try this one first!

Let’s start with Carnivoregirl and all the eyelashes. We are totally in love with the idea of using old doll’s heads for indoor pots (as you will see – we found LOADS that you will love) – seriously, when you next in the thrift store (or charity shop as we call them here) don’t turn your back on that unwanted dolly, give her some love – bring her home, and plant her up with a succulent!)

Trolls with succulents for hair

Trolls!  Look out for old unloved dolls and trolls at yard sales, charity shops and give them a fun new life!
Plant them up with succulents for a really fun, low maintenance indoor garden.

Character DIY planters

We couldn’t resist these fun characters? Planters made from household waste – look how fun these are for kids? Piglets and Minions… They would look fab in a classroom too, what an excellent project to celebrate Earth Day – from Debbie Williams

Halloween Doll Head planter
