Abstract: A vase includes a tire and one of the two sidewalls of the tire is cut into multiple partitions, a board connected to the other sidewall and, a frame fixedly connected to the partitions. The frame has a neck to be fixedly connected to the partitions by bolts, and a plurality lugs extend from the neck, wherein each lug is located between adjacent partitions. A plurality of plates are attached to the outside of the sidewall and are fixedly connected to the lugs by bolts. Soil is filled between the partitions, the board and the frame, and a plant is planted in the soil.
