wine box garden


hi everyone..


living in a first floor apartment we don't have a garden. we do have a big sunny deck at the back that we love with pots of palms and succulents that grow well all year round without much care. adding flowers in spring makes it feel like a garden, without a lawn to mow.
these wine boxes that were being thrown out at a bottle shop have been handy for storage inside & now i love them full of flowers i bought at the plant nursery this weekend. 













have a great day!

    You did well. My friend owns an Itlalian restaurant here in Brisbane and says the wooden boxes are hard to come by. Love your wine box garden.

    I love your wine box idea and your photos are beautiful. The one that reflects the palms is my favorite but the one with your pretty kitty in it is tied for first.

    Those are lovely - and so are your photos! In the U.S., we generally call a container of flowers like that a Mother's Garden (I don't know if you call it that or not) ... the wine boxes are a great touch! Deb @ RaisingFigureSkaters.com
