Re: I'll never think the same about a concrete block
I had seen one like this a few years ago, online somewhere, and I would love to do something similar. Just haven't gotten around to it yet...but I will.
Really cool idea!

Re: I'll never think the same about a concrete block
We had some concrete blocks left over that were all a little different and my husband didn't want them. So...I took them, edged a garden with them and planted minis in them. That was two years ago and the hostas are doing well. They get a lot of comments from people!

Re: I'll never think the same about a concrete block
I've been thinking about these too, and last year there was a greenhouse that went out of business near us and the owner told me to come and get any concrete blocks I wanted, for free, they were just stacked up and taking up space... This spring she changed her mind and wanted $1.00 each which would have been fine if she hadn't first offered them for nothing. I passed, but maybe I'm just way too cheap
I love the idea of using them as an edging with minis in them!

Chris go get them! That would be beautiful addition to your nursery to display hostas or other plants.
