I know you’ve been worried about Buffy (the plant, not the Slayer) and her well-being under my dubious care. Not to worry! She is alive and kicking (or sitting still on the window sill).
And, because I know nothing about gardening, I’m not going to provide any tips today. I did, however, google the world’s weirdest gardens. So, here we go:
1. The Garden of Cosmic Speculation; Dumfries, Scotland: This garden looks like you’ve just stepped into a Salvador Dali painting.
2. The Alnwick Poison Garden; Northumberland, England: Everything in this garden can kill you, or at least, really ruin your day.
3. Bookworm Gardens; Sheboygan, Wisconsin: This garden is based on all our favorite children’s books! I’ve never wanted to picnic somewhere more.
4. Step Garden at Acros Fukuoka; Fukuoka, Japan: Built into the rooftop of one of the largest buildings in Fukuoka, these steps make for a massive park.
5. The Highline; New York City, USA: I don’t know why this never makes it onto any “crazy garden” lists, but the Highline is one of my favorite spots. A garden/park built on abandoned above-ground train tracks.
6. The Hanging Basket at Hotel Indigo; London, UK: Apparently this thing weighs over a ton(ne) and is the world’s largest flower basket.
For now, my garden consists of one very small, unkillable window plant. But that plant is still alive, so I’ll call that a victory for me.

Haha, congrats on keeping the plant alive! I’m not a plant-person myself, so I know how difficult that can be. I have two orchids right now, and I’m actually pretty proud that they’re still alive:P

It is the same for me. I so do not have a green thumb. Hey, I manage even to kill cacti! A friend of mine recently gave me an orchid. I am trying to keep it alive but I’m afraid the poor plant won’t see Christmas! So far (if I may use your words), total days not dead: 33
Funny thing is I love gardens. I would like to visit The Alnwick Poison garden and the Bookworm Gardens (as I love children books too). Nice post!

[…] I like Liz Hensler from Do The Thing. Just like me she doesn’t have a green thumb. But she manages to grow a plant without killing it. Me ? I manage to kill cacti! A friend recently gave me an orchid. I am trying to keep it alive but I’m afraid the poor plant won’t see Christmas! Funny thing is I love plants and gardens. And Liz has found the world’s weirdest gardens. I would like to visit The Alnwick Poison garden and the Bookworm Gardens (as I love children books too). See Liz’s post here. […]
