Perfect day to cycle to the local plant nursery for a few plants for the pots on my front doorstep.  It gave me the idea of using some things from the recycled bin such as boxes, cans and tins (take off the label on a baked bean can, use an empty golden syrup tin) as these would make lovely plant containers and brighten up any window sill or patio.  Have a go at making fun planters with your children and send us some photos!
