Since Megan shared the\u00a0exciting news yesterday that plantlust.com is now shipping plants<\/a> I thought it would be fun timing to share a few images I’ve been collecting of shopping cart gardens. Get it? Online shopping\/shopping carts?\u00a0“You have 2 items in your shopping cart, proceed to checkout or keep shopping?” — oh\u00a0ya, that’s right — if you have to explain a joke it’s not funny. Anyway…<\/p>\n

I ran across this “Opuntia in a cart” while in Los Angeles over Christmastime.\u00a0It was parked in a\u00a0hellstrip beside\u00a0a cafe, I bet you can guess the name of the cafe.
\n\"LAOpuntia3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Opunita blooms are unlike any that I’ve seen before, so tropical looking!
\n\"LAOpuntia2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was tempted to go inside and ask about that pad laying on the ground (could I take it?). But I didn’t want them to think I’d knocked it off with that intention.
\n\"LAOpuntia1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This shopping cart arrangement was done by Linda Beutler <\/a>for the annual Hardy Plant Society of Oregon<\/a> (HPSO) meeting last fall, she was kind enough to supply me with the image, since I didn’t manage to capture one myself.<\/p>\n

She must have had so much fun making that first one that she did it all over again for the HPSO booth at our local Yard, Garden & Patio Show<\/a>. Oh and by the way, this creation had a name: “Happiness is Buying Plants” (hence the flat of plants on the bottom of the cart) how fun is that?<\/p>\n

Here’s another shot of that same cart, this one taken by Peter Herpst<\/a>. Are you wondering about all those bottles? The HPSO does a wonderful display at the YGP Show of cuttings taken from member gardens. Since the show falls in February it’s a great opportunity to see what looks good in our gardens in the winter time. I believe there will be a similar exhibit at Hortlandia<\/a>, the spring plant sale (if you live anywhere near Portland you’ll want to attend that event, because…happiness is buying plants).<\/p>\n

Finally here’s a shot I took in the vintage market at the recent Northwest Flower and Garden Show<\/a>. You \u00a0might wonder what that tag hanging from it says? Maybe\u00a0“NFS”\u00a0or\u00a0“$500″…well I can’t tell you, I wasn’t smart enough to look!
\n\"NWFG\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All this shopping cart fun had me wondering if this is a “thing” and I’m just not hip enough to know about it. I did a little research and found an\u00a0interesting article from Oregon Public Broadcasting “Growing Mobile Gardens In Recycled Shopping Carts” — what a great idea! I also discovered movable trees in Amsterdam (here<\/a>), and a story about an urban (shopping cart) farm in San Diego (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In addition to the photo, Linda Beutler was kind enough to share her plant list. So here are a few of the things you may have spotted in the YGP cart, which by the way\u00a0is one from her “collection”…she has a shopping cart collection!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
