My Mecox Gardens House Plant

A few postings ago, I was inspired by Mecox Gardens. After a trip to HomeGoods, the Pet store, and Michaels, I was ready to give it a go. First, an interesting container from HomeGoods

Next, some charcoal from the aquarium section at the local pet store

 

That's what I learned from reading the library book I talked about in my Terrarium post, and one of the reasons my first attempt failed. Next, some decorative crushed shells and gravel

 

Assemble everything, and you have 

A beautiful houseplant! I love the crushed shells

If anyone has some lovely houseplant arrangements they would like to share, I would be happy to post them.

Happy Planting!

Mecox Gardens for inspiration

On a recent trip to Florida, yes to escape the AWFUL winter we had, I strolled into Mecox Gardens.

EVERYTHING in the store made my mind race with ideas. However, the most inspiring project idea for myself, was the way everyday plants were displayed.

I am working on my inspiration project this week, and will post it soon!
