Grow a Pretty Picture With Indoor Grass Frames
Although we steadfastly agree that there has yet to be a Chia pet that was Chia-chic, here's an artful presentation of easy-to-grow indoor grass, for that touch of nature in your decor. If you'd like a cool eco-friendly gift, Metaphys makes simply clean and sleek planter frames to grow a little a sliver of lawn in your home or office. The frames come in several shapes and sizes (including a circular centerpiece frame so you can make a tabletop ring of green), and each comes with a seed set. Enthusiastic eco-friends can surely find delightful small flowering plants to intersperse as well. We're going to try a line of colorful celosias. How pretty is that?
Metaphys is in Japan, but here's a ditty in English from their site: "Picture is a framed planter that allows users to plant seeds and enjoy growing plants within the frame as if appreciating pictures in an art museum. Planter provides a stark contrast between the organic plant and the inorganic frame, and between the developing plant and the cropped nature of the frame background. Picture can be placed on desks or hung on walls.
A square aspect of a planter will have a variety of looks with different pieces of scenery pictures. A long rectangular plane may suit for the panoramic sea view stretching as far as horizon. A plane of another planter placed by the window may suit for white clouds floating in the sky. We designed planters to enjoy the contrast between the plants planted and a scenery picture shown on the planter. You can select whether to hang it on the wall or place it on the table."
