In France, we are very famous for putting small garden under glass or Un Terrarium.....Jardin sous verre. We use them a lot in apartments...in Paris. One great idea to use flowers from Mother's day :) This is also a great center piece or gift on the small scale.
I made this one a Fairy garden under glass...
I made this one a Fairy garden under glass...
This is a very cheap way to make a garden.....A cloche Garden also is very pretty......Some Cloches come with a bowl base...Perfect.....Today i chose one of my big glass container...
I grabbed some African Violets.....Choose any plants good in shade...
Irish Moss...
Orchid...Make sure it is a small one to fit the Jar...
I filled the Jar with some dirt...Miracle grow here...
Add some water and wait for the dirt to absorb it...
Start planting....The Orchid stayed in it's pot...The rest was planted...
whenever i can find little figurines to paint...I grab them. Little Angels are perfect for this....I have the kids paint them...
Here goes the little Fairy...
If i can find little bird houses...I grab them too..
All set and pretty...
Very fun to make...
Do not water too much...Once in a while...
The African violet need some air and less water than the moss. Make sure you don't water too much and open the lid :)
If you get mildew spray with a mix of water and antiseptic mouth wash.
