Garden-Inspired St. Patrick's Day Ideas -- The Gardenist

Did someone say that there is another big snowstorm on the way for the Northeast?!? (Please no, I can't bear it anymore!!) I'm so green deprived and desperate for spring that I'm actually going to make an effort for St. Patrick's Day. This is way out of character for me, having grown up in a German family in the midwest, but I live in Boston now, and things are different here. And regardless of my roots, I need green, and St. Patrick's is as good an excuse as any.
