Plant Sconce For Your Living Room

Are you thinking of redecorating your living room? or change your interior decorations at home? Were you considering on changing you wall decor too? Well, on this blog I'll be introducing to you one of the many creations of Windowbox that would definitely be a head turner to any guests that will visit your lovely home. Primrose meaning "first rose", though it is not closely related to the rose family and is one of the earliest spring flowers in much of Europe. The flowers are typically pale yellow, though white or pink forms are often seen in nature. They grow best in moist but well-drained soil in light shade. The primrose can cover the ground in open woods and shaded hedgerows. It is also common on motorway verges and railway embankments where human intervention is restricted that is because in some populated areas it has sometimes suffered from over collection and theft.

Windowbox created and designed these lovely Primrose plant sconce in coffee cup, they are made from white earthenware clay that produces an off-white bisque finish and is then clear glazed on both the inside and outside to protect the finish of the sconce. You could send them as a perfect gift for those who loves flowers and likes coffee or tea at the same time. Plus, you won't have to worry where to place these decor, unlike the natural plant that you make sure to put them near a window to give them the light they need to grow, and since hanging plants tend to dry out fast you also have to make sure to water them regularly but at the same time prevent water damage or overflowing of the water from the container. 

There are different plant sconce designs and flowers that you could choose from. For more details about the primrose plant sconce, you could always visit their website and for orders and shipment you could also call their toll free number to talk to a customer service agent.

Knowing What Our Kids Need

Gardening is a hobby that not everybody loves, especially because one needs to have contact with soil. Although nowadays, there are already gardening gloves to protect our hands but it is still different when you have a feel of the soil. It also requires your time, energy, and effort, since you will be growing live plants. your knowledge and skills as a gardener also grows together with your plants. I could still remember how I used to hate gardening when I was a kid, but because of my grandmother's teaching and advices I have come to realize that it is not a bad hobby after all. I then swore to myself that someday if I have my own family and kids, I would influence them to love gardening because it is a very relaxing activity plus it helps our environment and it adds beauty not only in our house but in our world as well.

When I first introduced gardening to my son , I know that he had little to no interest at it. Good thing that there are now gardening tools and seed starter kit available for our little ones. It would definitely help them understand that their actions have greater impact not only in our society but on the larger scale of the world. I was once told that when I see my kid running around and doing all kinds of stuff and trying everything that they are curious of, I should not stop him, instead just trust him that on the process he is learning. So it is also the same in gardening. Little by little they would somehow understand and would help them become better persons in the future, it will shape them to who they will be in the future. 

There is no better way to spend time with your kids, than in the garden except from playing of course. Playing is their number one priority and other stuff comes next, they really don't care what the second priority is because they are too busy thinking about their playtime.

Different Uses of Moss

Mosses are non-vascular plants in the land plant division Bryophyta (a paraphyletic group of plants formerly regarded as single division but now split into mosses, hornworts, and liveworts). Botanically, they are small phylum of soft plants that are typically 1-10 centimeter tall, and commonly grow close together in clumps, or mats in damp or shady locations. They are herbaceous (non-woody) plants that absorb water and nutrients mainly through their leaves and harvest sunlight to create food by photosynthesis, unlike the vascular plants, these mosses do not have water-bearing xylem tracheids or vessels. These mosses reproduces using spores and not seeds and they also do not have flowers. In the modern world that we are living in, uses of mosses are are not immediately obvious but they do have an important and subtle ecological role, both in water-retention and stabilizing mobile surfaces like, landslips, sand dunes, and scree slopes.

Moss is often considered a weed in grass lawns, but is deliberately encouraged to grow under aesthetic principles exemplified by Japanese gardening ( are traditional gardens that create miniature idealized landscapes ). In old temple gardens, mosses can carpet a forest scene and is often thought to add a sense of calm, age and stillness to a garden scene. Moss is also used in Bonsai to cover the soil and enhance the impression of age, as well as, shelter and humidity for a remarkable diversity of invertebrates. Windowbox, is a leading manufacturer of window boxes, pots and planters, gardening tools and solutions and many more gardening needs and decorations, created a 15 inch Moss Pyramid Hanging Basket with Chain and Moss Ball Plug. These are hanging baskets that are covered in the greenest of green preserved moss which would be perfect for your flowers or plants and they do not need the use of liners.
