Container Garden Inspiration

You don’t need a quarter acre plot to start a garden. Gardens can reside in a kitchen window, or on the counter of a misty bathroom. Gardens show up in pots on the patio and tubs on the deck. It’s all about getting your hands in the dirt, and helping something grow. You’ll know your gardening, because the mere act fills your soul.

I’m inspired by the creativity and resourcefulness of my fellow gardeners. Here are a few favorites:

Hey how did I miss this page? What a good idea to put them all in one place. I’ve always loved Beetles, the new ones have a Vase for a flower….I think thats so me. Looks cute there in that flower bed

I would love to do that if I had all kinds of room. I drove a Bug for several years, before giving it away. Sharon had one too. They are pretty cute.

Thanks for checking out my page!

  Welcome I bet you and Sharon were so cute in your Bugs. What color were they?

    Sharon’s was originally baby blue. She later saved her money and had the car painted a royal purple. She loved that car.
    
    My bug was a bright orange/copper color, also custom paint, but not by me. I would have had a pretty green if I got to choose. It was a fun little car, though.
