KJM Urban Gardens http://kjmurbangardens.com Under Construction Fri, 30 Nov 2012 00:46:43 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Gorgeous Gourds http://kjmurbangardens.com/gorgeous-gourds/ http://kjmurbangardens.com/gorgeous-gourds/#comments Mon, 24 Sep 2012 21:42:03 +0000 kjmurban http://kjmurbangardens.com/?p=522 Autumn is an unparalleled when it comes to setting gardens ablaze! Ripening fruits and vegetables add splashes of russets & reds to a (mostly) green urban vegetable garden. Pumpkins are beginning to really show their colours and perennial grasses are in “plume.” These edible gourds provide us with tons of inspiration for fall planter pots…

These flowers were in full-bloom from mid-June to early-July in shades of vibrant purple.  When left alone in the garden, they  dry into an unusual sphere, which is perfect to use in Autumn arrangements! Swing by the shop to grab a bunch and get creative!

Tillandsia, or air-plants, are epiphytes that make their home up in the trees in mostly tropical regions of the world.  Surviving on a daily dose of moisture (in the form of mist) they grow happily in a variety of indoor conditions; inside glass terrariums, tucked into seashells, on rocks, suspended on wire, tucked into other plant foliage, inside tea-cups… the options are endless!

Being SO easy to grow they make the perfect gift for the home or office.  A glass terrarium filled with airplants can truly whisk one from the confines of the office to distant lands, daily!

 

We have many airplants to choose from @ the store so stop in and check out these captive treasures the next time you are in our area!
