The sun is shining, the flowers are in bloom, the trees are verdant — it’s just a shame we have to leave it all outdoors. Here are five ways to add a pop of nature to even the darkest garden apartment.
Grass roots
Who needs a picnic when you have these plates? A bonus: The melanine-coated wood is durable enough for outdoor use. $14.95. crateandbarrel.com
In the bag
Think of it as the gardening equivalent of sea monkeys — it’s that easy. Just add water and stick the bag in a well-lit spot. Available in varieties like chives, viola, clover, lavender, mint, and basil. $7.50. sprouthome.com
The simple life
Good things come in threes. We love the simple beauty of this trio of botanicals prints on linen, neutral enough to match any decor. $39.99 for set of three. westelm.com
Common scents
Ah, the sweet smells of summer — in gardenia, lemongrass, orchid and wisteria. $35.95. zgallerie.com
Shadow dancing
Create a tree mural on your wall with the Lumen Lamp. The mini oil lamp casts a shadow of the tree of your choice and looks cool on its own too. $48. uncommongoods.com.
