Play Me, I'm Yours

Ah, art for art's sake. Wonderful thought, yes. However art that can give back to a community, revitalize a street corner, give the gift of music, encourage spontaneity... now that is art for a much stronger purpose.

Currently in New York, and incredible art project called, "Play Me, I'm Yours" is taking place across the city. An artist from across the pond, has decided to bless America with the gift of art and music. Read below and explore the continually-expanding blog documenting the project.

Thinking Vertically.

"Gosh, I need more sunshine." 

This would be the phrase that I proclaim to anyone I'm with (or to myself) every time I come across cool new ways to grow succulents & containers made for blooming floral goodness.

Today I'm captivated by the works of art/vertical garden panels that PlantsOnWalls has created, and since I can't take on this project currently (due to a lack of sun on my patio), the ideas from their collection below will join my blog of inspirations - hopefully one day becoming a part of my personal outdoor space. Enjoy! ~ Jill
