Jar Gardens

One of my favorite decor items in houses are plants and greenery. The essence of house plants are a perfect way to step up your spring decor. Plants improve air quality and give off a fresh-feel. Plants are an easy accessory choice because they are available at a variety of price points, and their wide variety of hues can complement any decorating color scheme. You can find plants with low maintenance capabilities. And, they are fun to plant and watch bloom and grow. Growing up my parents always had many plants in the house and my favorite chore was watering them. Here's to welcoming spring by bringing flowers and plants to every space in your home to give it an instant dose of charm—both inside and out. 

Mason jars work beautifully as casual containers for live plants. If you’re into cooking, you can opt to grow herbs like basil, mint, rosemary, cilantro and many more for those days when your dishes are in need of a little flavor. They are easily accessed when in a mason jar and stay sealed and fresh. Just fill about 1/4th of the jar with moist potting soil and then plant the transplanted herbs. This is a great solution for apartment dwellers who do not have abundant gardening space. 



If you’re partial to flowers, place an arrangement of white or yellow flowers on your island or countertop. It’s a simple way of boosting your spirits and showing your appreciation for nature. Just fill a mason jar with water and place a flower in it. You could always plant a few flowers in a jar. Constant sunlight would be necessary for specific plants to flourish. 

Lucky Bamboo is also a great contender for greenery decor. Try a bamboo plant on a shelf or table to bring a spa or tropical-feel to your home. I have multiple lucky bamboo plants because they are low maintenance.  



Happy planting! 

XOXO, Hannah
