Stephanie shares a post by Tara that explains how to make an upcycled suitcase planter with gas pipe legs. It’s both a container garden and a raised bed garden.

This upcycled suitcase planter is a nifty raised bed, a way to give new life to old objects you might have lying around, and a unique piece of garden art all rolled into one. With a few materials and a little know-how, you can make this creative raised bed in an afternoon.”
