Whitney Curtis is the author of the home and garden blog The Curtis Casa. She shares with us her step-by-step tutorial for making a DIY wall hanging planter.

With the hope of warm spring weather still a few weeks away, I wanted to create a modern DIY Wall Hanging Planter to brighten up my home office and add a little (more) greenery to the space. This modern look is a great addition to any empty vertical space and will hold gardening fans over until the weather warms up and we can head outside.

Note: This is an intermediate DIY project. Please be careful when handling tools and hardware. And always wear your safety goggles!

The end of summer is almost here but that doesn’t mean that it’s too early to start thinking about spring. In fact, fall is the perfect season to plant spring-flowering bulbs! That’s exactly why the Martha Stewart Living™ bulb collection recently made its debut in The Home Depot Garden Center.

The new bulb collection is available online and in select stores. The collection offers a Cut Flowers category with bulbs best suited to create indoor arrangements, as well as outdoor arrangements including Border, Deer-Resistant and Fragrant bulb categories.

When planting bulbs in the fall for a stunning spring display, it’s important to consider the following questions:

Recently I saw several hummingbirds feeding at the home of a friend. We drank coffee and watched them dart around the feeder with the precision of a small invasion. I have to admit I was mesmerized by the display. I asked how she was able to entice the little birds so close to her home and how she managed to attract so many of them. Here are some secrets of her success:

Beautify Your Garden with Bare Root Roses

Posted by: Eileen Claar on June 3rd, 2011 | 2 Comments

I love roses – all types, colors and varieties. But I decided to try my hand with bare root (packaged) roses this year. These are roses that are sold without soil or foliage. They are generally less expensive and can be planted earlier in the season, which suits me fine because I am ready to start planting!

New Interactive Plant Tags Help You Shop for Plants with Confidence

Posted by: Darren Ryan on April 5th, 2011 | 3 Comments

I have been buying plants for years now and the most frustrating part about buying a plant is not knowing all of the details you need to know when you there in the garden center. No matter how versed you are in plants and gardening, we all have questions like how much sun does the plant need? How big does the plant get? And so many more necessary questions to ask.

Without the right answers to all of those questions, it’s difficult to be successful with your new plants in your garden.

That’s why reading the plant’s tag is so important.
