From wooden tray to mini garden

Instructions No. 1452
Instructions No. 1452     Difficulty: Beginner  Working time: 30 Minutes

Dream garden in small

Create your own personal mini-garden and make your garden dreams come true in Mini! With only little effort you can create a small miniature world that will be the decoration highlight in your apartment, house or terrace.

Material requirements

For this idea, some paint to paint, a protective foil, some potting soil for natural plant green or Sand for artificial plants, moss, Decorative stones, miniature wooden trunks, miniature terracotta pots and many miniature decorative accessories .

Priming

As a first step, coat the tray and Wood Accessories like mini garden bench and keg with Wood stain paint. This will colour the parts without affecting the natural wood look.

Tray as planting bowl

To ensure that the wood remains well protected and you can enjoy your mini garden for a long time to come, the tray is covered with a protective film. It can then be used as a flat planting tray. You can use a plastic bag for protection or another clear transparent foil.

Decorate according to your personal taste!

First create a "decoration plan" and arrange all your accessories roughly on the tray. Draw a decoration sketch of where to place what or take a photograph of your rough idea.

If you use real small green plants, plant them in the potting soil first. Turn the surface of the planting bowl into grass (moss), paths (decorative stones), fences (miniature wooden trunks). Artificial plant green is then placed on the moss

Recommended small extras

Stack small Terracotta-pots into turrets. They are filled with moss, joined together with a wooden stick and placed in the mini-garden. Then they are simply "planted" with small artificial flowers.

Small colourful decorative mushrooms are interesting "splashes of colour" which give the decoration that certain something. A miniature bicycle at the self-designed garden fence made of miniature wooden trunks is also a special highlight in our decoration idea.
