The skeleton of an iconic womb chair finds second life as a planter holding a Ranunculus lyallii.

Where better to show our concern for the future of our planet than in our gardens? In the pantheon of sustainable gardening practices, putting old doors, windows, cobbles, bricks, glass, and rusty metal to good use is as vital to the health of the planet as building soil, planting natives, and minimizing lawns.

Many inspiring materials can be found as give-aways at construction sites. Most cities have salvage stores and warehouses of used building products, as well as recycling centers. Then there are the treasure troves of eBay and craigslist. Whether you’re looking for an old stove to use as a potting bench, rusty tools to use as garden art, or a wood-framed window to define a garden space, you can find these and much more by searching online as well as on foot.
