In order to help others who have a black thumb when it comes to gardening, Joy Cho of the Oh Joy! blog teamed up with Miracle-Gro for a series of inspiring DIY garden projects. In collaboration with the gardening brand, Cho created a fun series of crafts that have their roots in the garden, such as floral place cards, pumpkin planters and even an instructional video on how to make garden bruschetta.
In addition to these projects, the #GroJoy Gardening board hosted on Miracle-Gro's Pinterest account includes a curated list of projects by other bloggers that are equally as inspiring to gardeners of all levels.
As one of Pinterest's top pinners, with a following of more than 13 million users, it's no surprise that this shared board is watched by more than 860,000 followers.
