Lítill Terrariums

Lítill terrariums are sooooo cool it makes my brain hurt. I mean look at them! It’s like your pen pal from Mars sent you a little slice of its alien planet. They ‘aint cheap, but they are custom made by photographer Lauren Coleman who works with a glass blower and her “cactus guy” to make you one wicked little desktop gem.

Boskke’s Sky Planters

So if you haven’t already noticed, we here at GBM are kinda ga ga for cool house plants. And by “we” I think its just me – the Mrs. could go either way. These Sky Planters by kiwi designer Patrick Morris for his company Boskke are pretty impressive. Continue reading…

I can haz compartmentalized herb garden?

Ok, ok, I know it looks like Curt’s showing me up. Dang fool won’t stop posting something every five minutes. I’m doing wedding recaps over here so I’m busy, geez.

Anyway, how rad are these “Urb Gardens“!? As an apartment-dwelling foodie who LOVES cooking with fresh herbs, I gotta say I’m quite smitten with this idea.

The Nikon came along for the ride and you get to reap the benefits. I feel sorry for all of you with snow up to your hiney.

Frisky Ficus

Made the monthly pilgrimage to the big blue box – IKEA. I’ve been eying some of their houseplants for for quite some time and Monday was the day we finally pulled the trigger. It was a little bit of a struggle getting the Ficus Lyrata home with four people in the car – which is how it ended up with the name “Frisky.”

Succ it Up.

Here at the Bear Cave (meaning our apartment… yeah, just roll with it), we love succulents. LOVE them. (See: My wedding bouquet. Actually, pretty much our whole wedding.)

So, I was kind of ridiculously excited to see this rad DIY-Vertical-Garden tutorial in Sunset Magazine. (Thanks Erin for the link!)

It actually seems like a fairly simple project. Check it out…
