Garden Gifts that ROAR!

Adorable and fun, these little gardens are tiny dioramas for your favorite future paleontologist! ​

Here is a quick run down on how our Tip of the Week can be made for your special someone today! 
​
Start with a medium sized pot with good surface space and add potting soil. You will need 4-5 small plants, some plastic dinosaurs, and a hand full of rocks  to create this diorama.

After a quick run to the garden center, we chose Celosia to create a burst of color. This ornamental flowering plant is known for it's flame like appearance and is also edible. Lisa also selected some bold succulents and easy to grow ground cover that will fill in the spaces around your prehistoric friends. 
​
Speaking of dinosaurs, they can usually be found at a 99 cent store in the toy section, or you can recycle some old plastic toys if you have any.  We also recommend on your next hike outside picking up a few rocks on the trail to include in your mini-garden.

​Check out the video on how to make your own Dino Garden on out Tip of the Week page.
​
​To create your diorama, you will carefully arrange your plants in the container mixing the celosia and other tall plants with a shorter ground cover plant to create gaps that won't eventually grow taller than your dinosaurs. Go ahead and artfully place your rock to look like formations. 

​Send us a photo to see what you have made as a gift. This would also be a fantastic planter for your front door stoop, or as a party center piece. Check  out our finished product!
