My Little Green Thumb

Dolce & a Can of Thyme

I love to Garden. . . especially Herbs. There's just Something about it. City living Creates some challenges . . .But I am Not easily Scared. Nor should you Be. Arm yourself with a Bag of Potting soil, a drill (you need to add a few holes to the Bottom of your Container so Water can escape) and Colorful flowers & Herbs Read on . .

Garden containers & Planters are often times Costly. Frankly, they are Expensive and quite Uninspired .  That said- here are My ideas for Economical Garden Greatness .

First Love - Tin Cans . I adore Herbs grown in Vegetable cans. Perhaps it's the Cheeky nod. I'm not sure. . . but Label or Sans Label , Tin cans are the Most accessible & Easiest of all Garden containers.

Tin Chic

Colorful & Utilitarian

So Easy - So Fresh

Wine Crates & Barrels make the Perfect planter. The size allows a Decent variety of Plants and they just look like They were meant to Be on your Deck / Patio or in your Backyard.

Effortless to Drill Through

Blends naturally with Your Deck

Household & Kitchen items work like Champs as planters.  Classic silver Ice Buckets & bowls are like Vintage Fashion for the Outdoors. You can find these items at Any Thrift Shop or Salvation Army. Try to Get into the Habit of shopping Thrift. . .not only Do you Get a great deal, you Also contribute to Your Community. You know what Im going to Say . . .Share the love .

Make your Pasta Proud

This little Tea Pot short & stout. . . 

feels Regal - costs Next to Nothing

A touch of Tarnish adds to the Character 

Finally, get out & hit up Garage Sales or a Flea Market. This is my All Time Favorite activity. Make a Day of it- pack a picnic & bring along some cocktails . . . You will not be disappointed. It goes without Saying- there will be Stellar people watching as well.  Garage Sales & Flea Markets will have all sorts of Funky finds which are perfect for Garden Containers. . . .

Bright Birdcages make an Unforgettable Statement

Retired Wash Basins are Sturdy & Deep

Reclaimed Desk drawers . Lighthearted Brilliance 

Life to a No longer Tired Suitcase

Reminds me of my Sandbox as a Kid . Genius 

Get out & Get to it ! I can't Wait to hear all about Your Garden Finds. Send me a note and Share the love.
