For Easter this year I made each family a little garden box full of herbs planted in these vintage boxes I picked up at the flea market. I sent the Chicago Burches all the fixings in the mail, but put together everyone else's to give to them on Easter. I lined the bottom of each box with some kind of moss-something-or-another from Baker Nursery (sorry, I can't seem to remember what it was called, but the wonderful folks at Baker will surely know what you need...).
Then I simply filled each box with dirt and planted all the herbs side by side...
I think they turned out so sweet and everyone seemed so excited about them. Don't you think this would be the best present to give someone as a housewarming gift? I know I would love it...
