Shape - I am blown away! Is this a gift for your wife for Christmas? That is a work of art .... garden art that is totally stunning!
If by some slim chance she doesn't like it ..... I would certainly love to give it a spot in my yard!
Well, I almost hate to show my miniature garden creation. No comparison and I am out of your league, but .... I've got several miniature gardens I am planning to do after the holidays. This one I did over the weekend because I am giving my daughter's roommate the supplies to make one of these. I made one for myself to see how difficult it might be for her and what all would be needed. I plan to have her come over to my house to create hers as I have everything here. (She doesn't really do much gardening, but wanted a miniature live Fairy Garden for the back porch.) So .... here's my "modest" Fairy Garden:
The resident fairies enjoying the shade of the tree:
I will say I had a lot of fun painting the house, designing the layout, and planting/placing everything. Each plant was up-potted into the next large (small) pots that are buried in the dirt in the metal tub. That way if something dies, I can just replace it. The succulents are planted in cactus soil, but the soil in the metal tub is not cactus soil, it is regular potting mix. So I am hoping that the different potting soil mixes will work best for each plant to keep them alive and healthy.
