‘Fresh Flowers’ in a 32 page book by Sandra Bautista of itunube. All flowers in the book were selected and carefully photographed so that each one is original. Like it, tear it out, fold it and place it in a cup. What? Genius! Can even be sent by post. Purchase them here. Via designboom.

Ok, so technically this is NOT a planter, but bare with me for a second. Dutch company OAT have designed a range of biodegradable shoes called The Virgin Collection, with seeds embedded in the tongues. They can be discarded by burying them in the ground, where they completely decompose and a bouquet of wild flowers grows to mark the place. What a rad idea!! Top photo © Corriette Schoenaerts.

Here’s a round up of some cool planter ideas I’ve seen around the web of late.

Hope you like.
