Very Extraordinary Planter

Rachel Mahlke is an artist from Berkeley, California who transforms old stiletto heels, collected from her friends and thrift stores, into extraordinary planters with cacti and other succulent.

First she removes the top of the shoes and then sands it, drills holes for drainage and finally plants a cactus in a mixture of natural and organic fertilizers and soil. Mahlke mentions that she obtains most of her plants from a local Berkeley grower who is 100% certified organic.
