A few years ago, I met a family that was germinating seeds in their home office during the early spring months. This gave me an idea: what if I not only germinated the seeds inside but actually grew things like small fruits and vegetables in an indoor space? What if I had a mini greenhouse from which I could pull foods to cook?
Since this epiphany, i've been attempting to learn more about container gardens and how they work, how to plant inside effectively, and how to garden in general. This idea is not so foreign, in fact many folks have done it successfully. Whole stores and services are now dedicated to helping people find the appropriate plants to grow inside and the appropriate methods to cultivate them. A few weeks ago, I even designed an electric-powered container gardening system that would let users water their plants from a mobile application while on vacation. Too hot for growing veggies outdoors or not home enough to water the plants? No problem. "Smart" container gardens to the rescue.
This week, I stumbled across some amazing container gardens at the Biltmore Estate. In particular, my friend and I were oohing and ahhing over all of the large and little vessels that the gardens had used to create terrariums. One of my favorites was a large water jug that had been converted into a tall container garden. Just thought i'd share a little taste of this treat, (see above) in case this post inspires you to create your own indoor home for green goodness.
