Tipsy planting fun

Tipsy Flowerpot Tower
Make a flowerpot tower with your children.

For fun in the flower garden or yard, make a tipsy flowerpot tower with your children. If you have more than one child, you could assign flower pots as appropriate. Though I haven’t made one yet, I’m eager to try it. Jean Fischer brought this to my attention today via. Facebook. The picture is of the tipsy flowerpot tower she made.

Jean offered this website for directions on how to build the tipsy flowerpot tower:  http://www.gardenfreshliving.com/2009/07/defy-gravity-with-a-flower-tower.html

When selecting plants for your tower, keep in mind that they will need to be watered much more faithfully than plants in the ground. For this reason you might want to select plants that can tolerate dry weather, because if you are at all like me there will be days when you forget to water them, and you want them to be able to revive when you remember and come to the rescue again.
