We have had a very wet winter, and our garden is so sloshy underfoot that the roses are still to be pruned! So my 'gardening' has taken a new turn:
I have been planting in miniature and indoors!
I found some inexpensive glass containers at Kmart which I thought would work as terrariums, and went about collecting all manner of plants and pebbles.
I've had a lovely time playing with form, texture and colour.
I suspect I've broken every rule of terrarium planting by combining succulents, air plants, mosses and lichen, each of which require quite different conditions. I figured I'd just play with different combinations and see which ones survive.
Inspiration and helpful instructions for making my terrariums came from this post by lovely Amelia.
The weather is a little warmer today,
so hopefully I can get to the rose pruning soon!
goodluck will be interested to see how they go........love all the colour texture combinations......
