I just came across your blog from the Homestead Blog Hop to check out the ways to grow wheatgrass as a decoration. I’ve have shared your fantastic article. It’s a wonderful and helpful idea. I’d like to try this at the house!
You have such great tips here! I grew some wheat grass several years ago for my Easter centerpieces but I started several weeks before hand so it had time to grow. You’ve given me hope that I can do it just this week! Happy Easter! Blessings, Loni
Happy Easter to you, Loni!
Happy Spring! This post has been selected as one of my Features from the Welcome Spring party! So glad you shared with us! Watch my FB page for the share. Pinned it too. Love the idea of using natural elements for Spring Home Decor and I will be doing this!
Thank you so much for the feature, Shirley! 🙂
Such a quick and simple way to add some greenery to the house. Pinned.
Thanks!
The perfect way to bring a breath of spring to winter! Thanks for sharing on Homestead Blog Hop!
Thanks, Liz!
How awesome! I just hopped by from Homestead Blog Hop to check out how to grow wheatgrass for decoration and I shared your wonderful post. Such a useful and inspiring idea. I want to try this at home!
Thanks, Deborah!
I did this once years ago and now you make me want to do it again! I think I will. I love it in the basket.

The one in the basket is my favorite too. 🙂
My mom always does this and she got me doing it last year. I’m glad I saw your post because I need to grow some before Easter, and it’s almost time to get it started sprouting! Thanks for linking up with us at the #HomeMattersParty this week.
Glad it was helpful! I need to start some too!
This is a super cute idea. I really never thought of growing it from seed at home. Feel free to pop. Cute site. Pinning to try.
Thanks, Theresa!
This is a great idea!! So pretty and fresh, Joy 🙂
Thank you, Jacque! 🙂
It also makes a wonderful supplement for your dog and cat. If you take your trimmings and chop them fine you can sprinkle them on the animals food to help give them a bit more fiber and chlorophyll in their diet. You can also, if you can stand the taste, juice it for a healthy shake in the mornings to get everything "moving".
For how long can we keep this grass without replacing?
Mine only seemed to look nice for a couple of weeks, and then the bottom part started getting a yellowish look. It's more of a temporary spring decoration.
That is a very nice spring idea! 🙂 It looks very fresh!
Thank you! 🙂
What a neat idea, Joy! It would indeed be nice to have green indoors right now. 🙂
Thanks, Sarah! I LOVE green! 🙂
I love this! But I'm not sure where to find the wheat! Bummer.
We buy our wheat in bulk from Azure (our food co-op). But I'm sure a health food store would also carry wheat. If you just tell them you want to make wheat grass, I'm sure they could point you in the right direction! I think sometimes this is sold in bulk bins, so you could just get the small amount needed for this project if you wouldn't need it for something else. 🙂
Oh that was so fun. I am so glad to find your blog. I don't have a lot of crafty time. I'm a bakery owner and have lots of grains… and 2 cats. I could kill 2 birds with one stone. Decorative grass that the cats can eat…
….
I'm so glad you stopped by, Piper! How neat that you own a bakery–that sounds like a fun job! And that's a great idea about growing grass for the cats to eat! 🙂
Thanks. I will plant my 3 wheat planters tomorrow morning. I've been soaking and rinsing since Sunday. I didn't realize that you can soak them less time. I was waiting for sprouts…Que sera, sera. First time for everything!
