Paper faces that sprout seedlings, fertilizing gnomes, pots that seem to float in the sky and planters you can wear are so much more fun. These 14 cool and unusual gardening products are far outside the ordinary, providing solutions for small-space gardens and for spreading greenery and flowers out into the world.
