Are you on Instagram? If the answer is no, why the heck not? It's a fabulous place for gathering inspiration and learning about new plants. I resisted for a long while, but since jumping in several years ago absolutely love it. Today I want to recommend that if you are on Instagram, you should follow my friend Max Cannon, aka @plantymagoo. Why? Because you'll see creative ideas like this fan-cage repurposed as a hanging planter...

Yep, that's a trashcan lid! Max credited me for this one but I say he was being overly generous. I've used lids as planters placed on top of various pillars and supports, but never hanging like this, that was all his idea...and isn't it fantastic?

You'll also see all sorts of jealousy-inspiring garden photography—Max and his husband Justin garden in the mild East Bay area of California and they have great plant taste too...

Finally, if you're a hummingbird lover you'll really appreciate all the stellar photos of these cute little guys that show up on his page.
