Hanging Gardens

After this week's post on indoor/outdoor spaces, this is a little extension with a bit more intention. We love the idea of these hanging or suspended plants. Individual arrangements or single botanicals create a garden that is both dramatic and simply stated. We love that many of these interpretations are inverted! 
Creating an upside down herb garden is perfect for adding some greenery to your kitchen without cluttering your precious counter space; we love these pots by Rockett St George. 

Check out String Gardens for some really inspiring and amazing creations including suspended florals, orchids, and even tress. 

For an added pop of color, these neon string moss balls  by mister moss are low maintenance and unexpected. 

Creating your own hanging garden can be as simple as potting some indoor plants into well chosen handmade vessels like the one here. We also love the look of these vintage lab beakers that could be mixed with various bud vases and other hanging glass vessels for a wild and loose collection of plants.

Some of us live in small spaces and extending our living quarters into the outdoors can be a welcome change, especially in the summer months. For those of us who don't have access to green space, bringing a little nature indoors can also help liven a home... here are some of our favorite spaces that blend indoors and outdoors with a little bit of imagination and a lot of grace... 

Backyard Bouquet

Picked some flowers from my backyard today... It was such a joy to be in the sun surrounded by blooms!

Succulents

Succulents are one of our favorite floral elements. They are a great way to add hearty geometric shapes to a centerpiece or arrangement. They come in such a variety of colors and look great paired with almost any florals. Whether the look is delicate and feminine, bright or bold, they add dimension and texture unlike any other botanical. Here are some of our favorite ways to use succulents...

We love to use vintage silver goblets, compote dishes, milk glass vessels and other thrifted finds to create collections of succulents for a centerpiece, mantel arrangement, escort card arrangement or other vignette.

We love this succulent table runner! So earthy and luscious and a wonderful way to bring color and texture to a table top without obscuring your guests view...

Love the juxtaposition of the succulent shapes with feminine wisps of feathers and delicate blush roses.

Vertical gardens are all the rage in home DIY. Check out Sunset's how to, or our favorite local nursery, Flora Grubb for great tips, supplies and inspiration!
