Garden In a Shoe

May 27, 2013 By Meegan 13 Comments

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am so excited to share my Garden In a Shoe and  The Gro Project with you!

Have you seen the Miracle Gro Project Facebook page recently?  There is a whole movement in gardening you can find fun garden projects for the whole family. There are also more ideas on Miracle Gro Pinterest boards. Check it out as a forum for gardeners to come together and share gardening stories.

I saw some and projects, and knew I needed to try my own.  I am constantly blown away by the creativity and imagination from others, aren’t you?

Since we do live in a condo, I don’t get to garden much.  BUT, I do love to fill my containers with floral beauties, like Verbena.  The first thing I did was find a container.  But, I didn’t want just any container. I wanted to create a Garden In a Shoe.

Yep, I thought a shoe would be the perfect container for my project.

Next, I lined my shoe with interfacing.

Then the REAL fun begins…

I filled my shoe with:

Miracle Grow Potting Mix

With Moisture Control Potting Soil made by Miracle-Gro, and voila!

I first filled the toe of my shoe with Miracle Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix.  I placed 2 Verbena plants in my shoe.  The last step was to fill my shoe to the top with Miracle Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix.

Now I have a Garden In a Shoe. Love it!!

Scott’s Miracle Gro meets all of your gardening needs with products like: Indoor/container: Shake n’ Feed Moisture Control All Purpose Plant Food and Moisture Control Potting Mix.  For In-ground outdoor plants use: LiquaFeed All Purpose Plant Food Advance Starter Kit

Now it’s time for you to find a container and make your own Scott’s Miracle Gro Inspiration. What are you going to choose??

Make it a great day!

Meegan

    Meegan that is so cute, what a great idea to put it in a shoe and I never would have thought of using interfacing!

    I am saving this for our 5th wheel. I know I want something small like a plant in it, I just wasn’t sure how. Thanks for the Inspiritation! Now I need to start looking for just the right container!

    What a cute idea! I like to plant in old rainboots and cowboy boots, but I’ve never though to use an old shoe. I have some darling little toddler shoes that would look so cute lined up with tiny sprouts in them!
