When I think gardening, I think smelly fertilizer, digging through worms and a streak of dirt running the length of one’s forehead. You’ve got it, I am no gardener.
This idea will of course have to change once I have a flower patch of my own, hopefully sooner rather than later. So I’ve been making a list of fun planting things to make the experience less traumatic.
Leave it to Anthropologie to have a pretty wheelbarrow. Sticking my hands in the mud would be no chore in any way with this little cart.
Textured planters in earthy tones are a need to — West Elm has a colourful selection.
Some a lot more good-looking motivation to pick up a spade. this one is from Indigo.
Garden markers are becoming quite popular in the garden industry, I hear. Gone are the days when people rummaged through their plot to find a tomato. These nifty ones, from Williams-Sonoma, made of steel and chalkboard paint are bound to survive the elements.
Plastic bucket, please make way for this sensational floral watering can from Anthropologie.
To start small, I’ve made a decision to unearth the green thumb I know I need to have somewhere and plot an indoor herb garden. check back soon to see how I made out.
See our Gardening & outdoor Living section for a lot more ideas.
