Garden Fun with Etsy

What is Etsy? It is an online marketplace that has from A-Z home made items, crafts, DIY items for sale and vendors who sell there wares online. I personally do not have an Etsy shop, but finding unique and personally crafted items is fun. There are also many antique items available.
The Etsy Mission is to "re-imagine commerce in ways that build a more fulfilling and lasting world. Etsy is a mindful, transparent and humane business. They plan and build for the long term and value craftsmanship in all they make. Etsy believes fun should be a part in everything they do. Etsy keeps it real, always."

DIY PLANT TAGS

For small and large plant tags use a variety of tile sizes with either a flat or glossy finish. Below photos are small travertine tiles. This is a great idea for labeling plants, re-purposing tiles and a great gift idea for your gardening friends. 
Materials:  Small Tiles, Flat Floral Marble, Wire, Hard as Nails Glue, Sharpee Pen, Acrylic Paint. Use a backing wire that is heavy enough for selected tile size. For larger tiles use a wooden dowel.

Thank you to Roberta for a great gift!

Repurposing Wood Pallets

What a great idea for Repurposing wood pallets and using them as gardening containers. Painting them to add color or leaving them in their natural wood tones creates a fun way to add vertical gardening space. To be on the safe side in case the wood pallet was treated previously with any toxic substance, use these pallets for non-edible gardening. Possibly the use of a non-toxic paint to coat the wood is more advisable for use as an edible gardening container.
A Quick How To DIY:
Use Landscape Fabric with a staple gun to secure and enclose the entire backside and sides.
Fill with potting soil and use some decorate dried moss to fill in the loose soil areas.
Lay pallet flat and add plants, a little more soil, a little more moss.  HAVE FUN!
