Our Little DIY Apartment Garden

I may not have a house with a nice yard. (yet) but it doesn't mean we can't have a little garden of our own.

The garden has been a cool project to do with Olivia.  First, we gathered old plant pots, mason, jam, and roasted pepper jars.  Then we began planting; Greek oregano, flat parsley, spicy basil, sweet basil, sweet mint, lavender and petunias.  I couldn't find chocolate mint or lemongrass for my homemade tea :( But, the outcome was pretty cool.  


I really like up-cycling it gave our garden a chic look. For the ones in plant pots I made use of some ugly old  cinder blocks I been hiding under our bed.  There's actually more blocks I can add but it was getting late.  Here's part 1 of the cinder block display.


It's nice to find new uses for old things we have hidden in our home.  The outcome is always unique, reduces your carbon print and it's CHEAP!!
