Create an Indoor Ladder Flower Display

A repurposed ladder can be the base for a lovely indoor flower garden.

From Indoor Edible Garden by DK

Colorful flowers bring warmth and beauty to any room. Edible flowers pull double-duty, providing ornamentation as well as creative additions to salads, baked goods, cocktails and more. Try using tulip petals with goat cheese, decorating cakes with candied primroses or including pansies in a dinner salad. Lavender can be used in a variety of culinary delights, including lavender bread pudding (visit motherearthliving.com/lavender-bread-pudding for the recipe).

Displaying pots of growing flowers on a colorfully painted, upcycled stepladder in a sunny room is an effective way of ensuring the plants all receive enough light and space to thrive. Use a selection of seasonal blooms to create variety and color. The ladder takes roughly two to three hours to paint and assemble pots on, depending on size. Make sure your planter is placed in a bright, sunny room kept between 57 and 72 degrees. Water plants every day or two, and feed the plants weekly six weeks after planting.
