A Visit to Greensgrow and a Quick DIY

So I recently visited Greensgrow Farms, a really unique spot not too far from where I live in Port Richmond.  I was so excited to see everything in full bloom after such a rainy May.  After poking around for a bit, I decided to purchase a few airplants.  They ended up being on sale which was awesome since plants these days can get really pricey.  I always hesitate to splurge on a nice plant because I'm never 100% sure if I'll be able to keep it alive long enough.  



I read online that airplants were a good option for people who didn't want to tend to plants to much.  I have to admit, I still don't completely understand how they survive, but mine are still kicking about a month after purchasing.  Once I brought them home, I wasn't sure how I wanted to display them.  We have a few of these letterpress drawers and I remembered seeing these cute, glass himmelis at Target. I started thinking about how to attach them to the letterpress and next thing you know, I had a hammer in my hand!


The first thing I did was fill the himmellis with some tiny white rocks which I originally purchased for potting my succulents.  I also bought some Spanish moss when I was at Greensgrow and realized that the moss would be a cute addition.






I popped in the airplants and voila! A quick and easy DIY for displaying airplants.





Cute, right?
