In an effort to use my overabundance of semps, I worked on semp craft projects all weekend.

Found this little metal nest with a bird attached. I lined it with sphagnum moss and planted semps.

Planted a plastic window box "trough". Drilled tons of holes in the bottom. On the left is Cotoneaster dammeri iStrieb's Findling', which grows 1" a year, toward the right is a 'Teeny Mugo Pine' which grows 1-2" per year.

Sawed a hole in an old chair, made a chicken wire basket that I stapled to the bottom. Lined with landscape fabric and put some sphagnum moss on the top to disguise the edges of the hole.
