There is art in using plants in your garden. Then adding another layer with planters, sculptures and decor brings it all out. ❤ I make small garden houses with old windows and I use a lot of color in my garden too. We gardeners are artists !! ❤❤
We are in south gulf coast Florida. I’ve always gardened, and have never had much money to toss around. Painting containers gives them a new life! If people live in a hot climate like south Florida, the lighter the pot, the cooler the plants roots will be.
Hello from San Pedro California! The planters look really good, I’m inspired now to spray paint my containers for a whole new patio look. Also you pointed out the Rustoleum dial nozzle, I did not know about that, but I love it. Wishing you the best, I like your relaxed approach!
Absolutely they do look great! The caladiums and begonias you chose are such a gorgeous blend of colors. Beautiful artistic job on the containers, Grayson. They look brand new and are the perfect shape for your plant selections. I bet they grow and fill in super fast! Howdy from Houston, Texas! We love caladiums and begonias down here where it's so hot and humid!
I just did this with my planters using spray paint I had from other projects. Not near as much prep and just used the paint and primer combo colors that I had. The only ones I wish I had primered were yellow and hot pink. Red, blue, turquoise, purple and green just needed two coats.
I wish you were my neighbor! I love to garden. I’m in Zone 7a, northern Virginia. The planters turned out beautifully! Is that skip laurel in the background?
Hi, Baltimore Maryland here! I'm new to your channel Love your planters! Question...I have very large heavy plastic containers, do you think I could do the same thing? Have A Great Day!
Options to consider are: 🔺 use an acrylic paint and a sponge, ti highlight or lowlight areas. 🔺 Using a Stain thinned to antique over a color and spray sealant 🔺 a variety of molds 9ffer added detail options to glue on containers 🔺 decoupage containers + seal inside and out.
I guess brilliant minds think alike. I do the same with my planters whether plastic, concrete, clay or Terra cotta. I use a vast array of brilliantly colored FINGER NAIL POLISHES to color in the etchings/carvings in the pots or to paint designs free hand. To preserve my clay/terra cotta/concrete pots from crumbling I spray the inside and outside with clear FLEX SEAL (bf painting with Rustoleum, nail polish) which makes the pot waterproof (of course making sure the drain hole is sufficient). Also, using coffee filters to cover the drain hole keeps the soil in the pot. PS. ENJOYING YOUR VIDEOS FROM THE PACIFIC OCEAN SIDE OF THE U.S.
Hi from South Africa. I love to refurbish old containers instead of throwing them out. These look great.
Thank you. Thanks for your comment
Love those planters!! The spray paint on sponge really brought it all together! They're giving me tropical vibes with the leaves on the outsides!
I think ,most Gardeners,are a bit of an artist to begin with. He just revealed that here in video!🌺🌺

That pillar you are using for a paint stand is a gorgeous thing. I would try to repair the top of that pillar so it can be a useful ornament again.
Thank you

Thank you for your comment. A great idea indeed.
I am viewing from Southeast Texas zone 9a.
You spray paint with long even strokes. Do two light coats .
thanks for your comment Nancy
What an amazing transformation! You have a lot of artistic talent. Was just wondering how black wax would have worked in lieu of painting the leaves.
Thank you, Pam. I never thought about using black wax. That sounds like a great idea
NICE!
Thanks
Thanks for the demonstration! I am located in SE Michigan. I have wondered if plastic pots could be painted.
Thank you. They sure can.
Put a top coat of polyurethane sealer to keep the pits looking good great! I am from Santa Fe New Mexico ❤❤❤

Hi Sharron, Thank you
