CITY GARDENING

While I'm certainly not ready for the responsibilities of a yard yet, and will fully admit to killing my houseplants upon occasion (my constant travel is hard on them!), I still have serious cravings for a little greenhouse of my own someday. I'm fairly obsessed with the notion, actually, which is why I'm kind of in love with this mini version... 
Way better than a cloche or terrarium for inside the apartment, this little guy is just the right size for real plants and a city patio. I'm pretty much in love. It seems like a cool way to convert a vintage cabinet, right? 

How do you garden in the city? Are you lucky enough to have a little patio space to fill with greens?

  7. I wish I had even the teeniest of balconies for city gardening! That greenhouse is adorable. I can't keep house plants alive to save my life but I'm confident that I could tackle the outdoor variety.

  8. Oh, how pretty! I started my first herb garden about a month ago and so far so good. Hope it lasts, I'm very bad with plants...

    When we lived in an apartment, I packed our little balcony with a ton of herbs. The door was right by our kitchen so the breeze would always bring the gorgeous scents inside. I love this terrarium though - would look darling on any patio!

  11. This is such a lovely idea! Who says you can't garden when you live in a condo/apartment right!! Did you plant any herbs in the cabinet? Have you seen tried the vertical garden (www.eieihome.com/blog/do-it-yourself-vertical-gardens.html) this would look amazing too!

  12. I keep telling myself that I'm going to grow herbs in my living room on the huge windowsill and I just need to DO it. Although I've heard succulents are pretty hard to kill, maybe I should start there... Ha! Love this patio and greenhouse!

  14. That little greenhouse is SO adorable! I've never seen one like that! I just put together and "herb wall" in my kitchen, and I'm hoping the plants do well!
