More dish garden ideas, wire frame holders

without comments


This is another cool way to do a dish garden I saw at the Houston Garden Show. These are your typical wire hanging baskets. They have been lined with screen. The same stuff you purchase at the hardware store to repair broken window screens.

They are much more modern looking than traditional dish gardens. You could hang these ones also on a very long hanger so that the garden would be below eye level if you wanted something unusual in a kitchen or bath.

The top dish garden has small plants inside the glass balls as well as outside of them.

Dish gardens in stainless steel bowls

without comments


I went to visit the Houston Garden Club Florescence Show “Cosmos” a few weeks back. As always I come away with more projects I’d like to do than I ever have the time to dig into.

I thought this was a neat way to do a dish garden. It is a much cleaner, more modern look for a dish garden. You can easily drill some holes in the bottom of an old stainless bowl you have around the house and turn it into a dish garden.

Some were so full you couldn’t see and of the soil, others were more sparse in their presentations. What a neat look for a small kitchen garden. I’m thinking one full of herbs would be especially nice in a kitchen.
