Plant Containers and More

Here are some more pictures from the Chicago Botanic Garden Antiques and Garden Fair.

Chicken coop planter minus chickens sold at Williams-Sonoma off the internet for $1500+.
Or build it yourself.  Directions at this blog.


Ferns look great in any planter.
Substitute this expensive version sold at just about any big-box garden center. 

Last year they had benches covered with grass and the table set for dinner.
(See below)
This year instead of plates you can just pick and tear the lettuce apart right from the table,
except you can't because it's obviously just to look at. 

Lettuce

Same table decorated last year at the show without food growing on it.


Animal topiary - Here are some with a little more pizzazz. 
Here's a link on how to make them.
