If you've ever been to Japan and walked down any residential streets there, you will have noticed that everyone keeps a lot of plants in front of their homes. Usually it looks like kind of a random mish mash, but somehow it works. I was really inspired during my last visit there, so I've decided to try my hand at it as well. Here are the beginnings of what I hope to be my continuing effort to make things greener in my part of the world.
