We’ve now been in Denmark for exactly 2 weeks, and even though the weather is far from great  (we’re talking 18 degrees and rain showers most days) we’ve been spending as much time outside as possible. Both me and the kids have a great love for flowers and plants and no matter where this trip takes us, it seems like we run into the most amazing greenhouses and gardens.

I love living and bringing up my children in a big city, and we all enjoy the many possibilities this kind of life brings us, but how amazing would it be, to have a garden with a little greenhouse?  Built out of recycled windows and filled with green plants, colorful flowers and homegrown vegetables.

As long as we live in New York, this will stay on my list of dreams, but I have decided that when we return home, it’s time take up some inside gardening with my girls.

Here’s a small list of inside gardening ideas we have come up or found:

Grow herbs (Before we left for Denmark, we had an amazing basil plant, and we’ll definitely expand our collection upon return)

plant and grow bean sprouts and alfalfa sprouts (These take absolutely no time to grow, which is really fun for the kids)

Grow plants from food we have in our kitchen. (We found some inspiration right here)

Grow a garlic plant (See how to do it right here)

Grow flower plants (We normally fill up our living room with cut flowers, but I’d love to keep whole plants)

Make a Mason Jar Terrarium (Find some inspiration right here)

Keep a journal of our inside gardening (Because it Eleanor loves to keep track and write down everything)
