...or at least for me! Living in a small space is teaching me important lessons. These lessons have been particularly painful to my inner-hoarder! However... becoming efficient in my space and with my resources appeals to my creativity.
Creativity wins!
To play along at home, you'll need:
- one canvas shoe bag (mine holds 12 pairs of shoes)
- one wood hanger - because there was no other way to suspend my 'garden' without heavy equipment or an elaborate pulley system
- one screw in the exterior wall of your apartment building left by previous occupant for something undoubtedly more conventional
- one 1.5 cubic ft. bag of organic potting soil (Miracle Grow Organic)
- assorted plants and herbs of your choosing
- one narrow window planter box to place under your 'garden' to catch the surplus water
- also, one nosey dog to keep things interesting ;)
I am excited to see this bloom as the season unfolds. I am especially looking forward to the accompanying fragrance! Sweet basil always makes me think of leisurely summer dinners.
