I was excited to see Spring had finally arrived this week in Massachusetts. It had seemed like winter so long I was going stir-crazy, but now I could see the buds on the trees, enjoy the fresh air and feel the breeze on my skin. The weather was warm; everyone was outside, and my thoughts turned to gardening. If you’re looking for inspiration, Miracle-Gro’s The Gro Project is here to show you that garden projects don’t have to be complicated!
Instead, they can be fun, easy and very enjoyable even if you think you don’t have a green thumb!
Check this out:
This year I am definitely planting more berries and more veggies and herbs so that I can just go outside when it’s time for a meal and have the freshest produce. I’m also inspired to try The Gro Project‘s Toyrarium. I think this is a project that would be great to do with your kids.
What You Need
Add a little imagination and watch it come to life!
Have fun with it and enjoy spending quality time with your kids while encouraging them to create their own projects. Miracle Gro also has other fun garden projects on their Pinterest page. I’m following their boards and encourage you to as well if you’re looking for a gardener’s forum.
The Gro Project has other great ideas such as an easy to make Ukelele or Origami Garden. I have an old guitar that would make a really nice conversation piece with a beautiful plant snaking its way through. I’d love to put that out on the patio this summer.
I love how Miracle-Gro helps my plants thrive. For an indoor or container project use Shake’n Feed All Purpose Plant Food and Moisture Control Potting MixMoisture Control Potting Mix. For In-ground planting,, LiquaFeed All Purpose Plant Food Advance Starter Kit is perfect.
So, join the movement and show your colors and passion for gardening. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or have never tried, Miracle-Gro encourages you to join in!

I don’t have a green thumb at all but this looks like even I could do it!
Dianna @ Oyveyaday says
What a great idea. You can get so creative with this. We have a small garden in our backyard that the boys help out with – but this would be something that they could design and call their own.
April Golightly says
Great Idea! 😉
Karen Glatt says
I would like to do this am put this item in my house. I have always used Miracle Gro products and they really work. I would make one of these gardens looks so nice!
Robin Wilson says
That would be such a fun project to do with the kids. And I like that it is small and contained so they can keep in their room if the want!

Looks easy!!

Suprised they didn’t offer you palm and cacti soil for succulents. It is a much lighter soil and is what is often recommended for cacti. I have made several similar terrariums and have added model train figurines…those super tiny scaled figures that are .5″ in height. Have one set holding a BBQ in a terrarium..super cute

That does look like a fun project to do with the kids. I’ve used Miracle Gro for years.

That is so cute, I bet even I could accomplish that! I do not have a green thumb, even though I really want one.
Jennifer Dysart says
So adorable! I’m making this for my apartment! I seem to kill all plant life though 🙁
Judith Smith says
This just might satisfy my need to grow something this summer.
Stacey Roberson says
I love the idea of the Toyrarium. So simple and something to help keep the little ones responsible.

The Toyarium is such a great idea to do with kids. It is so simple yet it will keep kids focused and interested.
