factory planter
Designer Chiaki Murata has done it again with these three geometrical planters. Neither of Grant’s thumbs are green and even he has no problem keeping this grass growing. And no mowing!
I love bringing the outdoors inside, and this is a perfect way to do it. You can stack them sideways, on top of each other, or just by itself. I have four stacked on top of one another and it’s such an eye catcher. So clean and lovely. Just perfect for summer. And they’re priced so reasonably too!

swing with the plants
I had to get this the second I saw it. And one never to keep a great find to myself, I’m passing it on to you! The seat to this swing is cleverly designed to double as a planter, allowing whatever you choose to plant to grow up the ropes. What a romantic and unique addition to any garden. I think I’m going to plant night jasmin in mine.

blooming wrapping paper
Okay, this is one of the neatest new products I’ve stumbled across in a while. This beautiful biodegradable wrapping paper will not only make your gift look lovely, it will also make your garden grow! Each sheet of this handmade paper is embedded with flower seeds. After your gift’s recipient opens their present, they can plant this paper and either annual or perennial wild flowers (your choice) will bloom. Now the wrapping paper’s a gift that keeps on giving. Awesome, right?! at UncommonGoods

living ecosphere
The perfect gift for the person that has “everything”. An entire self-sustaining ecosystem right in the palm of your hand. Or on your desk. Or on your nightstand. This simple glass “egg” is filled with life! From plants and algae, to actual live shrimp. There’s no feeding involved, just make sure it gets lots of light. They’re so calming, that I have a couple spread about the house!

topiary shears
These leather handle topiary shears are just stunning. I hate to even get them dirty! They cut like nobody’s business, and I use them all over the yard. And the best part about them is that they can be used by left (me) AND right (Grant) handed people! Made in England.

rainwater hog
You’re probably asking yourself, what exactly IS a rainwater hog? Well, it’s just that, it’s a storage tank that hogs the rainwater. This ingenius invention will store up to 47 gallons of rainwater, so you can use it again to wash the car, water the plants, or any myriad of jobs around the house. And it fits just about anywhere… under the deck, on the wall, vertically or horizontally. And for an added extra bonus (and did you really need one?) a percentage of sales goes to the non profit Water Aid.

fountain vase
Here is another fun find I stumbled across at THE FLOWER FACTORY. This rustic looking vase is also a continual fountain! I’ve never seen a vase quite like this one, and they have three different versions. And you’ll never believe how low their prices are! Wow!!
