day two

Day two was filled with painted pallets for vertical gardening (see bottom picture). Have you heard of vertical garden?? Everyone can do it (even apartment dwellers and lawn lacking people!!)!! 

We also sawed off the bottoms of some old Home Depot buckets (see top picture). Bucket gardening is perfect for those wonderful YET invasive plants such as mint, lemon balm, and other wild growing plants. This way you can enjoy them with them taking over your life (I speak from experience.) 

Laura has been checking out all the local nursery sales for end-of-season goodies...
stay tuned to see what she has found!!
