Using Creativity to Turn a Leaking Boat Into a Garden (The Creativity Explorer. Episode 130)

Using Creativity to Turn a Leaking Boat Into a Garden (The Creativity Explorer. Episode 130)

Reuse, reduce, and recycle is not just a rallying call for sustainability – it is also a rallying call for creativity. 

My mother loves (!) to garden and luckily for me, she loves to come and garden on our island. But at 77 years old it’s slowly getting harder for her to bend to the ground, so today we turned an old boat upside down, filled it with soil, and named it “Berit” (my mum’s name). 

Now she will be able to continue to garden without having to bend so much. 

As a bonus, I got a better use for my old boat that was leaking anyway. 

Before and after pics are below.

 

What could you reduce, reuse or recycle for a better life?
