If you’ve got a pile of spare plant pots, why not follow RHS Garden Rosemoor’s example and turn them into flowerpot men? I’m not convinced they’re lifelike enough to scare the birds away from the crops in their kitchen garden, but they made me smile.
Flubble dubble, or something like that. It’s rather a long time since I watched the Flowerpot Men on the TV.
Your memory serves you about as well as mine serves me.
Such charming gentlemen; this flower pot men! Will the flower pot configurations keep their design? Are they glued together?
I imagine there are rods down their centres, taking advantage of drainage holes. I’ve seen pictures of them in different parts of the garden, so they must be sturdy enough to be moved around.
Delightfully chaotic!! 😁
That scarf has seen better days 🙂
Oh, yes! Fun. i can picture them clattering to life.
You have a good aural imagination – they would clatter!
NIce. Great use of old pots.
Garden art can take all forms!
What a great fun way to use up some empty terracotta pots. I had to smile too, although I was a mere child when I used to watch the old TV serial “Bill & Ben the Flowerpot Men” .
Those were the days! 🙂
Were the Flower Pot men cartoon characters? Can I make them out of plastic pots? And how can I attach them?
They were an early children’s TV programme. I’m sure plastic pots would be fine, but they might need central holes punching in to do it. I am guessing that they are joined with rebar or stakes through the drainage holes.
Very creative!
They made me smile.
They look like the beginning of a Terracotta Army.
Now I’d like to see that!
I’d love to make one that scared off rabbits, but I fear it would just make the rabbits smile too. What a brilliant garden idea!
We saw a very realistic wooden fox in a garden a few days ago. It gave me quite a start to see it, so perhaps it would work on your rabbits.
What a great idea! I will think about that!
I absolutely love these! What a lovely idea for using old pots.
I could imagine them making good insect hotels too, with a little straw tucked in the gaps.
