You can use upcycle just about anything for your garden, Here is our repurposed dutch oven planter.
NOTE – This dutch oven was given to us to do a repurpose project with and is why it looks new. We totally advocate using old, thrift store finds, or the free pile.
Recycling turns things into other things. Which is like magic.
Anyone who’s been on our site knows, we think there is nothing better than using what you have to achieve what you are looking for. Ran out of planters? What could you use instead?
REPURPOSED DUTCH OVEN PLANTER
We took this dutch oven and created a succulent planter for our garden.
Even though it has a wonderful non-stick coating, we didn’t want it to get damaged so we lined it with plastic. We then filled it with some dirt and succulents. Some rocks and moss were added to the top to fill in gaps.
This is a great way to use up some items in your kitchen that is no longer getting used in their original form.
If you don’t have a Dutch Oven, you can either use something else in your home or be on the lookout at your local thrift stores or a yard sale.

Denise, Appreciate that!!
Sorry if this was already mentioned, but is there no need to drill holes in the bottom of the pot for drainage? I’m thinking of doing this exact thing with a dutch oven of mine that has chipped enamel.
Fitrah, I am no plant expert, but I believe it would depend on the type of plant and drainage needed. Succulents don’t need a lot of water a ton of water so it shouldn’t need the same drainage but adding rocks is usually a good idea.
What a cute idea! I love the mixture of colors from the succulents, and dutch oven.
Linda, Thanks so much. The dutch oven is such a great color.
