Lately I've been loving succulents. There are so many varieties to choose from, they are easy to care for, generally grow quickly, and you can sprout new plants from cuttings, so you can get a big collection with minimal investment. There are many ways to display your garden: simple pots or mixed-plant bowls, indoor terrariums, living wreaths or wall installations, or of course planting them straight in the ground. These cinder block planters are unlike anything else I've seen, though. It's an ingenious way to use cinder blocks, which are not generally considered terribly attractive, although they are cheap and durable. If you remove blocks during a remodel, this would be a great way to recycle them, or you can always buy new. Of course, you'd need to fill in the holes at the bottom, and secure the stacks for safety and stability. It would be fairly simple to DIY this, or your contractor or handyman could assemble one easily and quickly. What a nice way to add a modern, green touch to your yard or patio!
