What an interesting idea…I’d never of thought of planting in shoes!! I’m passing by Alamo Square often but have never stopped. Would have loved seeing these.

What delightful shots! I love the idea of a shoe garden!

That’s one way to recycle old shoes. I laughed when I saw the 70’s platform shoes!

Love it! A natural shoe shop in Alamo Square 🙂

My Grammy used to grow “chicken & hens” just like that. I think that is what those plants are called anyways. My favorite of course are the last ones 🙂

That is such a cool idea! I may have to steal it. I especially like the monkey grass in the soccer cleats. I have LOTS of old soccer shoes.

Initially I thought you had placed each of your shoes in your garden and clicked shots..:D Until I read about the “Shoe Garden”. Quite a strange one though..:)

Put-Pie’s shoes were the best because Put-Pie is growing out of them.
mach3 says
I’ve never seen something like this before!
RMontalban says
Like the shoes being used as plant pots.
Thanks for popping over to see my entry, I had such fun taking the Captain America series shots and think I might just do some more of them as they did make me laugh. Not sure if Marvin will get the permanent role of sidekick though as I liked the fact of him being an imposter!!!! Who will he be next?

That is so cool. What a thought. Maybe next time I won’t toss my tennis shoes. I’ll just use them to grow a little garden of my own.
gaelikaa says
A shoe garden! That’s something altogether unusual and different.
Amiga, I’ve been able to put together a comment post for this week. I’m leaving the link, and going off to write my novel….only 11,000 words to go!
Sending you positive thoughts and good wishes….
