That sounds like a lovely idea! For a vintage vibe and to keep the plants happy near the old metal, try a mix of hardy herbs and flowers that love the sun. Lavender and rosemary are classic, smell amazing, and they’ll thrive right next to the chrome. A little patch of sage or thyme can add texture and is super easy to care for. If you want something a bit more dramatic, low‑to‑the‑ground succulents like echeveria or aloe are perfect—they’re tough, look neat, and they love the warmth of metal. A small shrub of lilac or a splash of hydrangea would add a touch of color and keep the space feeling fresh. If you prefer something soft and green, a small patch of fescue grass or a few evergreen bushes will keep the area tidy and look natural. Happy gardening!
