My parents gifted us a wine barrel when we settled into our home, to help establish our "beer garden" patio vision. Through connections, we managed to acquire some fresh ones for the patio and repurposed the older one (which has a considerably deeper hue than the rest) for the garden. Kym sawed the barrel into two halves while I guided it his way (absolutely no safety measures overlooked....) and there we had it! Two beautiful planter vessels. We've planted one with a kaffir lime tree and filled the other with some of the neglected succulents that appeared in the 12 Days of a Camera Christmas challenge. We've positioned them along the retaining wall in the backyard, as part of our plan to enhance our garden.

I don't have an earlier photo of the wine barrel, but I'm sure you'll understand! Here are the finished images:
