Sunday Reading: String Gardens


I came across this spring string garden how-to this past week from Terrain online and never realized how easy they are to make or it seems so anyway. Have you ever made one? It's basically wrapping the roots or bulbs of the plant in wet dirt to make a ball, then wrapping it with sheet or clump moss and then tying up with string. I also love their idea of using bulb flowers for their project.  The hyacinths look so fresh and would even make a lovely spring gift. I also didn't realize you can basically make a string garden ball for any type of plant (visit stringgardens.com for inspiration).  I love that idea.  From succulents to miniature orange trees, the possibilities are inspiring.  Seeing all these makes me want to make a window full!  A few pics from stringgardens.com below.
