Create Your Miniature Garden

Preparation is Key: Decisions and Planning

Before you start, consider whether you want to work with real plants or prefer a low-maintenance option with artificial plants. This choice influences the selection of materials and the preparation of your base.

Step 1: Prepare and Prime the Tray

Begin by coating all wooden elements with wood stain to give them a natural charm. Allow the stain to dry thoroughly, especially if you're working with real plants, to keep moisture out.

Working with real plants? Then line the tray with protective foil to make the base waterproof. Cut the foil generously and secure it with hot glue. This will later be covered by the soil. Then fill with loose coconut soil.

If you use artificial plants, you can instead use granules, decorative stones, or wood chips.

Step 2: Establish the Base Structure and Planting

Design the landscape of your miniature garden. Create small hills or valleys and start placing the plants. Make sure that real plants have room to grow and be watered. Use moss on the base to create different areas such as grass and flower beds. Also lay small decorative stones for paths and wooden stakes for fences.

Step 3: Decorate the Miniature Garden

The creative part! Design your miniature landscape according to your wishes. Use small terracotta pots by sliding them onto a wooden skewer and filling with moss. Then arrange additional decorative elements like benches, barrels, or small bicycles along your garden path.

Use your remaining plant materials to create lively areas and place decorative items such as mushrooms or garden tools for a realistic effect.

Be creative and adjust the garden to your liking, place all desired decorative elements, and artfully arrange your plant elements. Your garden should reflect your personal touch!

Enjoy creating your own little oasis!
