I started making planters in 6th grade, when I went to my favorite place on earth, called “Creativity Center.” At the end of that school year, I brought home 2 very wobbly ceramic planters for my Mom’s African Violet collection, and she, being quite kind, has used them for her indoor planting ever since.

One ceramic planter was a ragged edged green and yellow rectangular pot, and one was a hanging planter. I still remember that one, since I recall really wanting the planter itself to be beautiful, for Mom’s flowers. I etched a picture of a flower, later glazed in purple, on the bottom of the pot, so anyone looking up at the hanging planter could see it.

Many years later, I am fascinated with all things growing – both indoor and outdoor gardening. Join me as I explore everything from composting, indoor gardening, raised planters, vertical gardens to what plants to grow indoors, hanging planters, terrariums, and how to grow garlic indoors!
