todays items?

FOR THE GARDENER! 

i have a bunch of really cool items.

here we go : 

1) a gnome or fairy door to place at the base of a tree or in a garden. 

i think these are so cute. also, the door opens!

one of the trees in our neighborhood has a gnome door & kids leave notes.

2) you need seeds, duh! 

a full packet of carrots, corn, snap peas, radish & squash from beekman 1802! also, i know the photo is hard to see, but the package has really beautiful vintage drawings.

3) who knew that garden hoses could look so cute? these hoses from water right, inc come in a bunch of awesome colors.

4) want to spread the seed-love wherever you go? how about growfetti?! you get over 450[!] recycled paper flowers. each contains wildflower seeds. give to a friend, as an add-on in a 'you are awesome' gift or plant some in a local park or in the cracks of the sidewalk.

5) need some manure to get your garden growing? i love the packaging of these. organic manure teas ; you purchase a bag & steep them just like real tea, but its really manure for your garden ; indoor or outdoor.

6) dont have space for an outdoor garden? [me neither][total sad face, by the way]. 

this window box is beautiful ; its made from reclaimed barn wood & is perfect for growing all types of herbs. seeds are included [basil, dill, thyme, parsley, oregano, cilantro]

i plan on purchasing this ; so i will be sure to follow up!

7) to go along with your awesome new hose ; you could use this rad looking watering can! these cans are super cool ; they are made from recycled plastic, they have a place for built-in fertilizer, a built-in measuring cup & spoon, a place to store your gloves & a sprinkler head storage post. and hello, cool colors ;)

8) oh man, a jumbo worm-composting center. seriously, when we buy our first house with a massive backyard garden, a worm compost is top of the list. haha ; just reading through the product description makes me all silly & excited. do you know how they work? basically, you add your food scraps [no animal products] & worms. the worms eat your scraps & turn them into beautiful compost for the garden.

9) the florian store has tons of garden hand tools. i love the bright colors. [and they are pretty affordable!]
