Objects in the Garden

I like the idea of using unconventional planters in my friends garden. She collects various architectural salvage, and I think that these objects could be used in a fun way in the garden. I certainly don't want it to be twee, and the image of the planted wheelbarrow is certainly bordering on this. I prefer the idea of lots of abandoned bathtubs, or boats that look like they were stranded in a totally alien setting. Ivies growing with abandon will add to the 'secret garden' feel that I want to create.
