Herself's Houseplants

I’m still working through cool ideas I discovered at the flower show a few weeks back. The bottom garden that is laying on its side has a half circle of glass glued to the end to keep the water inside the bottle.

There were several versions of small water gardens. I’m not sure if its a new trend or something local to this area? I haven’t been living down here long.

These would be great little gardens for a desk or counter top. You might even add a fish.

You can buy these large glass containers cheap now. I see them at Walmart all the time. You can get water plants at any store that sells fish and fish tank supplies.

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.
