If you feel like recharging and connecting with nature, here are some indoor gardening activities for you! "To help the French combat boredom during a period of general confinement, the French startup Mon Petit Coin Vert has recently provided access to 14 "nature" activities to do indoors, alone, as a couple, or with family. These workshops require almost no equipment.""
1 - Regrowing vegetable scraps
For this activity, the only equipment needed is, of course, vegetable scraps. "All you have to do is cut the end of the vegetable that you usually throw away, place it in a glass/bowl of water, and plant it in potting soil or soil after a few days, pretty simple right?"
2 - Create a mini indoor herb garden
3 - Planting seeds in eggshells
4 - Make a terrarium
2 - Growing an avocado pit
All you need for this is an avocado pit and some toothpicks. Simply stick the toothpicks into the pit, making sure to identify the point that should be positioned upwards. Then, place the pit in a container (like a glass) with the bottom immersed in water. After a few weeks, the pit will crack open and small roots will appear. You can then plant the pit in soil. Just be sure to take good care of the pit and make sure it is not damaged, for example, by cracks.
3 - Planting citrus seeds
Materials needed: oranges, lemons, grapefruits... Keep the seeds, be patient and loving to grow a shrub. A little tip: seeds from organic fruits or small producers are more likely to be successful as they are not polluted with additives. The entire tutorial is here.
4 - Creating seedling pots
With soil, newspaper, eggshells... And you're all set! You can create seedling pots and grow seeds in them.
5 - Create a vegetable garden with water bottles
Instead of throwing away your empty bottles, they can be useful to create a garden. "This technique consists of turning plastic bottles into a pot to create a small vertical garden tower. This system allows for water distribution by gravity without the need to build a watering system. You don't need to be a DIY king for this, the principle is very simple: collect some plastic bottles, poke holes in the caps, cut a 10 x 5 cm rectangle in the middle of the bottle where your plant will come out, cut a hole slightly larger than the cap size at the bottom of the bottle, stack the bottles on top of each other."
6 - Make a garden with pallets
Well, this time you'll need to be a bit of a handyman. Here's the material you'll need: gloves, a crowbar, some pallets, a hammer, nails, a saw, and some plants. Get ready to get your hands dirty and create a beautiful garden with pallets!
You will need a pallet, a car jack, a hammer, a saw (saber or jigsaw), pliers (to remove nails), pliers, a screwdriver, screws (3cm and 5cm), a wall stapler (optional). First and foremost, the first step will be to find a pallet... We recommend checking with your supermarket to see if they can help you out. Then get to work! "This is probably the best technique for gardeners looking for a decorative vegetable garden. You will also need to make sure, as much as possible, that the wood has not been treated with chemicals that could be harmful to the plants. You will then need to apply geotextile in each pallet slot to avoid losing soil with each watering." Here is the full tutorial. Create seed bombs to green and flower the city. Soil, compost, and seeds are all you need. Form a ball and throw them in a green space to green the city! The best time for this activity? In.Wow!
