    5 DIY Indoor Gardening Ideas

    by Patti Estep · Jan 25, 2021

    Three indoor gardening projects. A fountain, water garden and kokedama moss ball

    Bring the outdoors in with this easy group of 5 indoor gardening ideas that will give you a Zen state of mind. All are easy to create and offer a sense of peace and tranquility to your home.

    Three kokedama moss balls. Two ferns and one orchid.

    Gardening doesn't have to only occur outside, nor does it only include growing edible plants. Though I do enjoy growing a few edibles the majority of my enthusiasm for gardening has to do with ornamental plants.

    I find that gardening indoors with houseplants is a big help during the winter or sometimes during the hottest days of summer, with my state of mind.

    Today I'm sharing just a few of some of my favorite garden related DIY projects that are sure to give you a Zen feeling of calm and tranquility let alone add some beauty in your home.
