Belfast Sinks

[Cherry321]

Have been given 2 Belfast sinks and would like to plant them up. I'd like to use them as a bit of a feature but am lacking inspiration!! Any suggestia l

Sorry. Any suggestions welcomed

One with herbs and the other as an alpine garden?

You can grow nearly anything in a container, so it really is personal choice.

However, I'm old enough to remember the days when pot sinks were being taken out by the boatload to be replaced by stainless steel (then the Height of Sophistication ). The old sinks were, indeed, very popular for recycling as alpine gardens, and I still love them for that. If you were particularly handy, you covered them in hypertufa (I'm sorry I can't make a link - just google) to simulate stone.
