Hold Steady

With its deep bowl, sturdy handles, and abundance of drainage holes, an old colander is begging to be repurposed as a hanging planter. ReadyMaker Phoebe Streblow rigged up this thrift-store find with nothing but a sturdy wire hanger. Place a layer of coconut liner in the bowl to retain moisture, drop in some potting soil and a favorite plant, and you’ve got your own floating garden.
