My love of sardines disgusts my daughters, but this they find amusing – a sardine can planter.
A mini rose plant is transplanted into a partially opened sardine can.
I picked up my mini roses in the greenhouse of a local garden shop – they were $3.99.
To create this look you'll need to release the plant from its pot, gently pull roots apart, add potting soil to can and insert plant.
Love these!
(love sardines too…)

it’s great idea!
This is the best tutorial/idea I have seen all week, it is amazing. Hope you don’t mind if I post this on my blog? Have a great day xxx
Sure – Thanks Jo! Glad you like it – take care, Camilla
Genius! I may have to do this with anchovies
Discovered your blog only recently and I LOVE IT!!!! Thanks for sharing your creativity.
This project is so cute. Do you think you can keep the plant this way indefinitely? I wonder if the container is deep enough.
Thanks Susan, I plan on keeping this plant in this container for about a week or so and then transferring it to a small pot outdoors. I like to do unusual plantings like this and use them as I would cut flowers in a vase; place them on a breakfast tray, windowsill, table, etc.. It’s a bit of a short-lived look – but so are cut flowers.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting – take care, Camilla

Hello, Camilla
I found your blog today and i’m loving it. I loved this ideia so much i shared it in my blog. I hope you don’t mind. I would invite you to visit it but it’s written in portuguese. Thank you and congratulations for the good work done here.
Muito Obrigada Llidia!
Hahaha! Roses in a can? You are too clever Camilla! Love the contrast of the two together. I never noticed sardine cans have such beautiful lines. I need to get me some sardines!
