These were great shoes. I tied them together a while ago and just threw them into a tree. I noticed some growth on them and had to put some flowers in them. These shoes gave me a great time skateboarding and now they are givingt back to the world long after the use they were made for faded. They just keep on going.

Took the shoes down from the tree. Looking to see what needs to be done before flipping them into flower pots.

So I use one of my seed starts trays to lean the shoes on. This way there were at an angle. Filled the entire shoe with peat moss.

Broke the roots up with both plants and placed them into the shoes. Nothing too complicated, but it was a lot fun to do.

Hung Back Up and Good

After I got the 2 shoes filled with plants, I placed them outside. I will post new pictures up very soon in the locations that got the shoes from. I use a low light plant because of the location the shoes were in. Some light, but not full light. Thank you for looking at my projects. I really appreciate it. Have a good day.
