So, if you’re less like Martha and more like me, most of your holiday decorating is done at the last minute and as something as an afterthought. But you still want it to look great, right? And you don’t want to spend $50 on it? Try this one: Who doesn’t love Peeps, lemon drops and [...]

So thanks, everyone, for being patient while the Garden Project of the Week took a two-week hiatus! We don’t have a lack of ideas around here, but last week we were running a contest on JPGD, and this week, I’ve been at the San Francisco Flower and Garden Show getting all sorts of ideas for [...]

One of my favorite projects! The succulent wreath, but an EASY one! We’ve all seen the Martha Stewart version (literally, it’s in one of her older books) where hundreds of tiny succulent clippings are stuck into a wire wreath frame. Yes, it’s gorgeous, but it also costs infinity dollars even if you do it yourself. [...]

I tried various titles to this garden project, but somehow “pot necklace” didn’t seem to work for my readers. (Unless there’s something you all aren’t telling me?) I actually saw this project several years ago in a magazine–but I don’t remember which magazine and I didn’t keep the directions. So, this past year when I [...]
