Hermine van Dijck, a textile artist whose studio is a mix of indoor plants and tangled thread, sprouts avocado pits and nurtures them as house plants until they're large enough to transplant in her nearby community garden.
We visited van Dijck's Belgian flat today on Remodelista (see Atelier Visit With a Belgian Textile Artist); to learn more about her gardening life, visit her blog, Dagboek van Dagen, where she documents the process of spouting avocado pits into full plants.
