{Weekend Goodness} Desktop Garden D.I.Y

Friday, April 19, 2013 by Debra Norton

Our garden is green, shady and lush when it’s in full swing. Nothing beats the feeling of serenity, fresh air and abundant green life of an outdoor space.

You can bring those feelings inside to your studio space even if you don’t have big picture windows and lots of natural sunlight. I promise it will make your space feel fresher and more lively with all that green goodness.

Bring some spring inside to your workspace with this desktop garden d.i.y. or an open terrarium. I have used indoor plants but you could also use succulents, air plants or even herbs. Be creative and enjoy!

Remember an open terrarium needs watering.  Tip: Choose plants that are similar in care and recommended lighting. Follow the individual plant’s care instructions and enjoy!

We would love to see how you bring the outside in! Share your desktop gardens with us in the comments or on Twitter and inspire each other to stop and enjoy the flowers this weekend.
