Flue Tiles Make Decorative Planter for Flowers
"Planters filled with flowers such as geraniums or petunias are attractive when arranged around a lawn, porch, or patio, but the fancy planter are pretty expensive."
These clay flue tiles come from your typical chimney like this image below.
The clay tile aides in safely venting smoke away from the inside of your home.
Somehow, someway, someone thought it would be a good idea to put some plants in one.
Because of this, we have all kinds of clay pots for sale at any garden center for all your flower potting needs.
You can still purchase these flue tiles for gardening. The price can vary depending on the size you need for your gardening.
I was trying to find out what started this gardening trend and I can't point to one place in history that this started. I did find many people who claim that they originally came up with idea.
Well guess what, they didn't.
This project of writing a blog from a 1970's almanac has taught me that we haven't had an original idea in a long long time.
Generations of people have just grown up and forgotten what their grandparents did.
You are not original snowflakes.
Take a page from your grandma's gardening book, instagram it, and claim originality.
Your Welcome
