Vertical Garden

A vertical garden is the perfect way to incorporate some greenery into your home while still keeping things tidy and low maintenance. This is a great project for kids, as they’ll love getting their hands dirty digging in the dirt and planting seeds.

First, you’ll need to find a spot on your wall where you’d like to install your vertical garden. You can use any kind of plant material for this (small plants will work best), but make sure it’s lightweight enough so that it won’t topple over when the wind gets strong or the plant starts growing upward rapidly!

Growing crops for your Christmas dinner can be a fun and engaging activity for the whole family. If you’re interested in learning more about how to grow your own produce this holiday season, check out our guide on how to grow your own Christmas dinner with urban farming for easy-to-follow tips.

Homemade Wreath Or Garland

Use fresh greens: Fresh greenery makes for a more natural and durable wreath or garland. You can use a variety of greens, but avoid using all one type—this will create an interesting look that isn’t too boring or uniform.

Don’t use plastic: Plastic is cheap, but you don’t have to scrimp on quality! If you want to buy artificial plants, make sure they are made from real materials like silk or polyester instead of petroleum-based plastics.

Don’t use fake flowers: The only way to go is with real flowers if you want something festive in your home! This will also save money and help take care of the environment at the same time.

Container Gardens In Old Boots, Pots, Wheels, Etc

Container gardens are a great way to get your urban farming fix. They’re easy to care for and can be placed anywhere, even on the balcony of an apartment!

These mini-gardens are also a great way to grow your own food. If you’re looking for ways to decorate your home with these container gardens, this list is full of creative ideas that will help you do just that!

Low-Lying Vegetables Like Spinach And Lettuce Make A Great Edible Centerpiece

Choose a small space to grow low-lying vegetables like spinach and lettuce. A container large enough to hold the plant (with enough room for the roots to spread) is all you need for this kind of urban farming.

Use a potting mix that drains well. You can use whatever you have available, but be sure it’s rich in nutrients and has good drainage so your plants don’t rot from too much water collecting at the bottom of the pot.

Plant your seeds or seedlings once you’ve decided where they’re going to live!

Go Miniature

Miniature greenery is a great way to add some Christmas spirit to your home. There are all sorts of miniature trees and shrubs, including pine trees, rosemary bushes, lavender plants and berries (we’re partial to cranberries).

You can also find miniature versions of popular fruits like lemons and apples. These are low maintenance plants that don’t require much sunlight or water you just need to keep them in a warm area with indirect light and they’ll grow into lush decorations for your home!

Conclusion

We hope you found these ideas inspiring and enjoyed the process of creating them. We know that you’re going to love your new decorations, and we can’t wait to see how they turn out!
