This little DIY coffee table garden is making me happy today. I’m dreaming of warmer days and green shoots in the garden. This little bit of bright green life is a good reminder “Spring is just around the corner,” as Frog likes to tell Toad.

It’s really easy to make: Just find a serving tray or basket that fits your space, and fill with greenery that works indoors. This distressed metal tray is divided into 9 squares, making it super easy to fill with 4” plants.

I wanted plants with a soft, bright profile. I luckily found the help of a local master gardener at our nearby gardening store.You can get creative and bring in all sorts of indoor plant textures and sizes, or you can just copy this one. 😊

Shown here: Oregano, Trailing Spike Moss, Soft Shield Fern, and Peperomia.

Bonus: They help clean your air.
