put a plant in it

i can't take full credit for this collection of "put a plant in it". so many dear friends and new friends have been emailing me with rad new creations for housing my favorite little green things - plants! this particular grouping is full of those moments where you say - hey why didn't think of that! but i didn't! so i am sharing it with you all so that we support our local plant style curators! plus there are some great wearables in this bunch! not only will your house get spoiled with plants - but your body could use some vegetation too!

from the folks who brought you these lovely designs...


i am so loving these new designs..."new air plant cradles // developed to showcase each air plant's individual beauty, my new air plant cradles are the ideal balance between sculpture and functionality. each cradle is completely hand crafted out of gorgeous unglazed natural terra cotta clay that is slow dryed for maximum strength and fired to 1945°. they measure approx. 9" across the widest point and will arrive with the hemp cord and a professionaly printed hangtag containing information about the cradle in addition to air plant care instructions. I'll be retailing them for $36 each. They make a stunning display!" via michaelmcdowell.com.


like is said, wear it up! how cool are these wearable planters by designer colleen jordan. "why should your plants stay at home? they help clean the air you breathe, are beautiful, and create a wonderful conversation starter. carry a sprout, a succulent, or a flower you found on your morning walk. a wearable planter... (is) setting out to prove that something beautiful can be created in plastic."


and lastly, for all you wall planting folks... check out the new urbio (pretty snazzy name)- it is the magically magnetic vertical urban garden! It is "a magnetic system that will help us transform any wall or ferrous surface into a beautiful veritcal garden. each pot is made of eco-plastic and is equipped with large neodymium magnets that are strong enough to hold almost anything to the wall. the wall plates are modular, and can easily be mounted to nay wall. mount just one urbio pot, or fill your wall with them." for more info visit myurbio.com.
