The idea of an herb garden is a good one, especially for those looking for low maintenance gardens. That said, the idea of a bunch of little pots all over your deck, stoop, or balcony aren't always appealing. Instead of keeping it under foot, check out this wall mounted version instead!

add some flowers to your home for spring

Here are some really nice ideas to add some flowers to your home for spring. I've been planning a spring brunch and looking around for flower ideas and came across these - aren't they nice? I would love to have one of each. These are so great because you can buy the flowers and do the arrangements yourself - it's more fun that way and less expensive too!

Moth orchids are some of the least expensive, most common, and longest-blooming orchids available. In fact, one bloom spike can look great for four months or more. The flowers appear in shades of white, pink, red, green, yellow, orange, and purple.

How to Grow Them: Give moth orchids (Phalaenopsis selections) a spot in low, medium, or bright light and water weekly or every other week. Promote more and larger blooms by feeding moth orchids monthly with a fertilizer formulated for orchids. The plants do best in temperatures from 50 to 75F.

Here's a Hint: A drop in temperatures helps encourage them to bloom.

Grow your vegetables in hanging baskets if ground space is scarce. Compact or "bush" varieties are best, though many herbs are also perfect picks for baskets. This pairing of tomato and basil, for example, creates a delicious and attractive display.
Test Garden Tip: Set up a drip-watering system to save you a substantial amount of time with a hose or watering can.

Hanging succulent garden tutorial

Staghorn ferns have been cropping up everywhere, often on plaques, as the focal point of wall gardens. But growing them that way can be challenging. This hanging display is a foolproof alternative. Potting moss and a plastic pot help the plant retain moisture, so you only have to water it once every two weeks or so.

Step 1: Find a terra-cotta pot large enough to fit a wire basket inside.

Step 2: Push the wire basket down into the terra-cotta pot so it's centered.

Step 3: Line the inside of the wire basket with a layer of potting moss.

Step 4: Leaving the fern in the original plastic pot, put it inside the wire basket.

Step 5: Add more potting moss to conceal the plastic pot and cover the soil.

Gardening editor Stephen Orr likes to give friends this portable garden, which contains the ingredients for tisane, or herbal tea. To make one, plant mint, rose geranium, pineapple sage, and lavender in a wooden wine crate or other container with ample drainage. To get the gift to keep on giving, be sure to tell the recipient to place it in full sun outdoors and to pluck a few sprigs for morning tea or for adding to black tea.

Instead of building bonfires or just putting old wooden pallets by the road, turn them into wall gardens!
