| The Mason Jar Herb Garden- This is a great way to start with growing your own fresh tasties. Herbs make any dish brighter […] You just need to have a few mason jars, some potting soil and your favorite seeds or baby herbs if you can’t bear waiting for them to grow. As a good start, I chose basil, mint, and rosemary. Before inserting the herbs into the pots, fill them with earth. Then set them next to a window where they are exposed to plenty of sunlight. (If you are really lucky, you will be able to tie up some twine around each jar and thereby get that rustic farmhouse feel.)

Pro Tip: put a layer of small pebbles on the bottom of each jar to aid water drainage Which in the end, making good use of your pebbles 2. Vertical Wall Planter:

Have a flat surface that needs new life? A vertical planter is the answer. You can use an old shoe organiser, buildings with wooden floors and facades because anything will do for wall space.

Last year, I used a discarded wooden pallet from the thrift store. With a quick coat of paint, a few little pots, nail and some elbow grease, I managed to transform the ugliness into a beautiful vertical garden consisting of succulents and tiny flowers. Now it hangs as the centerpiece in my living room, and everyone who notices remarks about how original it looks.3. Terrariums: Mini Plants in Glass

By turning an old ladder into a vertical hanging garden, I found that with pots attached to every run I just had my hands on the right place. That now stands proudly in my balcony, it is a real talking point. and the best bit of all... 6bottles freed up half again as much floor space!5. The Bottle Garden

This is one for all the recyclers of our time. Take a plastic or glass bottle, cut it in half and put the bottom half to use as a container. These dangle on he wall, where they can catch the sun's rays -- or line up on a window sill.

I made a line of chili on the window ledge with old soda bottles. Turn trash into treasure. This is how to recycle. There are open planters, you are free to change the soil after each planting or reuse some from old containers.

DIY Plant Shelves

Miniature Fairy Garden

Feeling a little bit downright dreamily delirious? Make a fairy garden! You just need a shallow container, some soil, and an assortment of small plants including mosses, succulents or ferns. Then sprinkle the miniature decorations around: houses in odd places on the floor in nature scenes, tiny paths which meander aimlessly and little formal figures like shepherds.

I made one of these with my niece and she was over the moon about it. Now it sits on my coffee table and every time I look at the little thing I feel like there's a tiny enchanted forest right in the middle of my living-room.

Aquaponics: Plants and Fish
