Earth Friendly Gift!

Posted By: Leah

So I was at the Farmer's Market w/ Gav a few weeks ago and saw these cool shoe-plant-container things. Like, the plants were growing out of shoes! So of course I had to buy some plants and make these for my mom for mother's day. Here are pics and instructions!

Just cut holes in a shoe/boot/etc (Gav called these his 'fast shoes' he outgrew them about a month or so ago).

Get some plants that don't need much care or water.
(I think these are called hens and chicks or something)
Break the plants apart and fill the shoes with dirt and plants.
Cover the tops with rocks, water and you have a unique gift!

Then I got Gav a new pair of the exact same shoes that fit!! I think my mom really liked this gift. She has them outside her house.

  2. Yes, I definitely love my fast shoes and the wonderful succulant plants. They are happy in my "desert" garden and even got a natural watering from the rain this week. Thanks again for a Super Mother's Day Gift!
