Garden Blog Carnival

Saturday July 19, 2008

Note: Shrub of the Week will be posted tomorrow. Today it's a carnival!

Today we're going to take a jaunt around the garden sites here at About.com and see what some of my favorite articles are. What fun!

  • Over at Container Gardening, Kerry Michaels demonstrates how to make a foolproof flowering container garden. The Clementine box garden is such a cute idea! It's also great because you can likely get the Clementine box free from your market.

  • Marie Iannotti from Gardening shows ways to get your kids to enjoy vegetable gardening. This image gallery is full of brightly colored vegetables that are sure to intrigue children!

  • I am a HUGE fan of starting your own business. That's why I like Amy Jeanroy's article about planning your herb business over at Herb Gardens. I think I will seriously consider doing this next year at our local farmer's market!

  • This summer I have been decorating and organizing my bedroom. I also just acquired many new houseplants last weekend. I can use Jon VanZile's tips about Feng Shui with houseplants.

  • Water features in the garden are so beautiful. Why not check out these instructions on creating waterfalls from Landscaping's David Beaulieu?

  • When I was growing up, I planted strawberry patches whenever I could. Learn how to grow organic strawberries from Colleen Vanderlinden of Organic Gardening.
