a potted herb garden

 i’m going to be helping out with our community garden this weekend. while i’m putting my green thumb to good use, i figured it would be a great time to get our indoor herb garden started as well.

i came across this image on fffound today and thought it was a cute idea for some of your smaller, delicate herbs. i love finding a good use for old tea tins!

that is an adorable way to show off mini potted plants. I don’t think I’m very good at keeping plants alive, so I’d probably put cute and fun little succulents in them. ;)

I have a black thumb like most of the rest of the commenters, but I would love a little garden like this. I have one succulent in a vintage teacup that I’ve managed to keep alive.

The photos are from the home of Alison from Lark Handmade and she blogged about it here: http://the-lark.blogspot.com/2009/06/on-inside-sun-dont-shine.html and I think the photos are by her partner.

Hello Kate – thank you for your comment on my blog! Love this herb planter idea. I have three packes of seeds with nothing to put them in at the moment! Perfect!

[...] å grund av seriös brist på gröna fingrar är det inte mycket som växer hemma hos mig, men om jag var lite mer talangfull på odlingsområdet skulle jag gärna anamma den här idén – att plantera (kryddor eller annat) i fina gamla teburkar! Perfekt storlek för fönsterbrädan, snyggt och enhetligt men ändå varierande tack vare färgerna och det gör absolut inget om de får lite patina. Det fiffiga tipset hittade jag hos wit + delight.
