- Let’s ‘muck up’ some garden containers and pots with a patina method that instantly turns them from new and boring to aged, mossy and antique looking. Perfect for that English Garden look. It couldn’t be easier with no skill and few tools required. Try it and see what I mean!

I love these. Thanks for making me feel like i can achieve that look without having to have concrete pots because I can’t afford these beautiful concrete pots.
Concrete is so heavy, it controls your gardening!
I live in a hot climate and those plastic pots work well. However, if you want to paint them, they will peel like crazy unless you give them a primer with a paint made for plastic. Then, after applying all of that paint she is painting them with, she must cover it with an exterior-grade clear top coat or it will fade and wash away in the rain, because she is not using exterior-grade paint. Remember, there is paint made for interior applications and paint made for exterior. If you unwisely use inside paint for the outside it will look cute today, but bad next year, unless the above preparations are done.
i was thinking the same thing....primer is needed first.
Or just get interior paint with primer in it. I live in Central Texas and have a few pots painted with oops paints I’ve found at Home Depot that have sat outside for over 7 years and still look great. Also I only use paints with a flat finish.
@@elenap3096 - Huh. That's interesting.
One person commented that making base part darker will make it look like it has been sitting in dirt for ages. Good idea.
SUPER video! This is the best hack for cheap plastic pots ever!!! THANK YOU!!!
Just had my son move the exact pot I’m going to do this to so I could pour out old potting soil full of weeds. Been looking for a new pot to suit me with no luck. It’s been right under my nose all along! Thank you for the inspiration!😎
Love this, Linda!! Several of my pots and planters were mildewy and dirty from Oregon winters, but not in an attractive, distressed fashion. I don't know why I hadn't thought of it, I'm an abstract painter and I also love to distress furniture pieces as well, but this video began a huge change and inspiration for me to take better control of the look of my garden areas. Refreshing/distressing the garden "furniture" by neutralizing the palette really created more cohesion. Also, I feel validated by your love of aging things, pots, baskets, fencing...I'm a long way off from new design goals, but I'm on my way. Thank you for sharing!!!
Excellent job on the faux finish! A tip for anyone attempting to replicate that white mineral deposit look of old terracotta is to randomly apply talcum powder to the pot surface when the paint reaches the tacky stage. It'll look just like natural efflorescence. 😊
Terrific idea! Never thought of that
I love your method! and videosI found some pots that neighbors put to the curb and used your method and it looks great like old concrete! Can't wait to fill them with flowers and place in the garden!!
I love the creativity you bring to your garden. I just learned, Rust Oleum has a terra cotta spray paint with a textural component to it.
@Jared Bruno yeah. But yours could be hacked too 🧐
@Jared Bruno - Yeah 'Jared'. You post this on every god damn video. No one gives a shit.
I just inherited a mish mash of old pots from my mom. I am excited to work this process and use them in my garden. I love your style!
Hi Linda, I am loving all your daily videos, i watch every one of them and have even bought some new topiaries. I am in the south of England and we have been having unusually glorious weather for the past 10 weeks ... so unusual, so I've been able to spend so much time in the garden. Thanks for sharing everything, I love it all ❤️
I started to wipe my hands clean before picking up a planter a few days ago. I heard you say, "Wipe your hands on your planter!" and I did! It turned out lovely! 🌺🌼🥰
Oh such an adorable individual you are Linda! I’ve been sick and you sure cheer me up. I do a little bit, but you keep me smiling.🍁🍂🍁 So careful with your ratios I agree. Lol
Love the new “old” look of the pot! I’m gonna do this with my kids. Thank you! ❤️
Suwansiri Croce it sounds like you are going to make your kids look old 🤣👍
Love it! I always admired your beautiful pots! Thanks for showing us how to achieve a cost effective look!
Love your easy aging process on the pots❤️
Awesome job❗❗❗ I am definitely trying this .🤗 I am creative, but you take the cake 🎂 Cheers to you ❗🥂
A great way to create a beautiful patina on stone,concrete and terra cotta is YOGURT!
The little microbes in it work wonders.
Just water down the yogurt and paint it on,then,wait for the magic to happen.
Works best on the north side of the house.
Yes!
Thank you for idea! I have 3 containers which I wanted to through away but now for sure will paint and use them😊
Linda, that container looks amazing, so realistic. Thanks for the idea.
How fun!! This video just popped up and I LOVE it! Can’t wait to try it.
Welcome!
Super inspiring, loved the final result.
Beautiful! You make it look s easy and fun!
I pulled out grungy, old plastic flower pots this morning to do this exact same thing! However, the weather warmed up n I will have to wait. Your pot is beautiful . You've given me lots of inspiration! Tfs
Dipping pots into a bucket of water into which has been sprayed various colors of paint is a cool effect also.
Love the way this turned out.
The first chance I get, I'm trying your idea! It does end up looking like aged cement.👏👍
I am going to get some sample paints and try this today on my plastic containers. Thank you Linda!
Hi Linda just discovered your channel thru your collaboration video with Laura from Garden Answer. Thank you for this video. I have a lot of old containers that are not pots that I want to use in my garden. Your techniques have inspired me to come up with ways to get rid of that plasticky look
I really am inspired to try this! Pot came out looking great!
I’m so inspired! Thank you!
Thanks for the good idea's for the pots .
Artist at work!
Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed seeing your process.
Well done. ! I’m inspired
Thanks again for another great video. I really have been enjoying my mornings watching one of your new video before going to work. BTW I dont have any concrete planters. So when I painted my planters to look faux concrete, I added some chucks of concrete mix here and there to my paint mix to add texture.
Terrific idea! I have a bag of concrete in my studio and scoop it out for several techniques
I have a large heavy pot I bought at Walmart that was painted white well leaving it out over the winter the paint is peeling....Perfect however my hubby wanted to paint it new... I was like NO!! ....it's perfect ......Lol
...back in the day my sweetie the Master Carpenter did this for me and mixed sawdust into the paint.
I use a stiff paint brush to stipple the paint into the ridges. Your pot turned out great!
ㅎㅎ
늘 배운답니다!
Thank you
🍊🍑🍇🍒🍎🍅🍋👍👍👍
Very interesting. That is how I like to do things.
I’m going to try this tomorrow. Thank you.
Love this; I was curious about your paint choices, now I see you use whatever! I’m getting busy!
Wow! It turned out great! I was sceptical when you started (I should have known better) but it is amazing! The muddy water put it over the top! I want to try it now. My dirt is close to the color of terra cotta so that will be interesting.
Amazing transformation! Nice.
Now we know what we can do with left over paint and paint samples. Thanks.
I have some plastic pots that I will update with color before planting season, thank you.
This will be a fix a few big ugly plastic planters for me thank you!
Gorgeous
it's better than pretty good........it's awesome!
Thanks for the ideas. I painted basket stripes on one of mine but never thought of painting the whole thing, lol.
Looks fabulous
Love this! Thank you for the inspiration!
Martha Stewart uses buttermilk plus it gets that moldy look after a bit
Hi Linda! Could you please show us on a seperate video how you can braid the stem of a topiary?
LOOKS GREAT!
i do something similar to my terra cotta pots
👍🏼
Excellent!!
Can you do a video on large planter hacks? Ways to get the look of large planters but, not the price, using containers that didn’t start out as planters.
Does it peel off after getting wet?
Claudia, that was my thought as well, she did not prime the pot!
llove creativity garden🌸🇵🇪🙋🏼
But you can’t keep these outside without some kind of sealant can you?
I was wondering the same thing, sealant for rain and harsh winter snow!
I am so doing this!
This is supposed to help insulate the pot as well?
❤️❤️❤️
Linda, have you visited Calvarts garden center in Ok City? They have a great selection of beautiful pots and plants. A “must”!
Yes!
Have u ever aged a pot to resemble zinc planters? I’ve wanted one for years! But can’t spend $2k on a pot!
I tried....In my area you do not find paint leftovers at Home depot or Walmart.??? anymore for 0.50 cents..If you find ANYTHING it will be at least a couple of dollars..I remember those times...but they are over...
I finally found a way to use up those 1/2 cans of paint.
What to do about the inside? Are these truly plastic pots?
Great idea.
Thank you 🙏
What about the inside edges of the pot?
Linda this is such a wonderful idea, LOVE it, thank you for showing us...one question do you ever have staining or run off of paint, do you protect with anything? All the best for great 2021!
Your stuff is lovely. What is the tree in your pot. thank yo!!!
Olive!
Great idea! What do you feed your Olive Tree, your looks very healthy.
👍🏻
Have you, anyone, ever mixed organic yogurt and most and smeared it on ? It give a slightly different look, but works wel
what type of plant is that, a lemon tree???
Will you also do anything with the interior of the pot?
Typically no:)
Great..easy..ideas..but..won,t..the..plant..get..affected..by..all..the..sprays?
not doing the inside edge?
See , finally… some one who thinks like me , and your doing it fast enough, some ladies take 38 minutes, to say brush white paint on , really, they must
Get sidetrack, or just can’t find the cat to play with. I absolutely go crazy 😜
Waiting to see it after 38 minutes
And I realize, I watched nothing
can you show your garden with other pots?
paint samples went up to $5 sadly
Oh no she di int!
🙏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🙏
That looks like a painted plastic pot.
Lol. Yes.
