Indoor Gardens with Lightpot

Indoor plants are nothing new of course but here’s a pretty cool idea I saw at Just Cool Design: The “lightpot” from designers Kfir Schwalb and Orit Magia of Studio Shulab . It uses eco friendly, energy saving LED lighting to grow plants, herbs – any pot adaptable vegetation anywhere in the house. And no matter what kind of lighting conditions you have too because it provides the light. A few of these around the house filled with kitchen herbs could be ideal!

Modern Trellis Design for the Garden

A fantastic design for a modern garden trellis by Jayme Jenkins as seen at Nest in Style: Using steel wires this trellis is especially useful as an invisible or floating trellis for a modern or contemporary garden design where traditional trellis styles might conflict with the overall concept.  Here you can see the effect and how the trellis is constructed – good luck!!
