Every spring I love growing pots of wheatgrass to give as gifts and just to have around the house for springtime. My sister Design Mom actually taught me this trick a long time ago. (read instructions on how to grow the grass here.) But it is still one of my favorite things to do in the Springtime. I paint a few pots with designs or quotes about springtime and take them to friends. It’s perfect for the time when it is almost-Spring-but-still-cold. And, since wheatgrass only needs a few days to grow – ours will be ready in time for Easter!

Love wheat grass and love the pots you painted. Would you be so kind as to share the poem printed on the clay pots?

This is such a lovely idea! I have painted some pots in pastell and I think with Wheatgrass it is going to scream “Hello Spring”! 🙂

love how simply but with a big impact these pots have. i’m sprouting sunflower greens right now and may have to paint up a pot or two when planting time hits in a day or so! thank you!

I remember the activities committee in my dorm had this as an activity one year…my pot was not as cute as yours though. I like your gift idea…i need to get some of my friends to invite me over so I can bring them some of these!

we grow wheat grass for easter each year. done it in jars, done it in glass cake stands and this year we’ve made a small hill over a cup and will reenact the tomb/calvarys hill with our wheat grass. Just planted ours on Monday night for FHE and it is already about 5 cms tall.

I’ve always wanted to grow wheat grass! I should really get on it. I didn’t realize it was this easy. 🙂
