with EASTER and SPRING coming up before too long .. i thought i'd share an idea with you that i once saw in a magazine .. i've made these and they are ADORABLE! great for gift-giving too!

Line the bottom of a woven basket with a plastic container filled with potting soil. If your basket doesn't have a handle, a length of pliant pussy willow attached to the sides with floral wire makes a fine subsitute. Planat plants like creeping fig and ferns, violets and other low-growing plants. top them with moss .. and add a sweet plant tag.
