Peculiar Poetic Planters

Let Your Imagination and Plants Grow with The Book Planter on Etsy

— June 8, 2011 — Lifestyle
The Book Planter by MJPoterDesign on Etsy is an unconventional, yet charming way to allow plants, flowers and other flora to grow in your home. The Book Planter is a simple device comprised of a hollowed-out hardcover with a wire screen in the bottom to allow drainage.

The designer suggests growing only succulents or other short-rooted plants in the Book Planter so as to avoid making a mess. While the plant is not included with this original flower pot, each Book Planter is one-of-a-kind as the designer chooses the books that will be used in each planter. The Book Planter is a great way to add some life to a bookshelf, desk or office. The Book Planter is available for purchase online at the MJPorterDesign on Etsy.
