No, not that TLC, I mean tender love and care. Because I don’t want no scrubs, but I do want some shrubs!

Here are a few little garden projects you should start this weekend to get those summer vibes flowing:

1. Mason Jar Herbs
Planting herbs is basically living at the height of efficiency. You not only get cute little plants to scatter around your apartment, but you can skip the grocery store and use them for cooking. Gotta save them dolla’s, girl!

4. Hanging Shoe Plant Organizer
If you are ready to do some spring cleaning maybe you should toss out all those gladiator sandals you bought a few summers ago, but never had the patience to actually wear. If you make some room in your shoe organizer you could hang a few plants right on the back of your door. Seriously, why didn’t we think of this!?
