    Hi Guys,

    I just came across the phenomenon of Micro-gardens and Rock-Gardens? I think it's a good idea to decorate, isn't it?

    Thanks for your opinion

    Hello & welcome to the forum Caterina.

    I like the micro-garden. Both me and Mrs JWK had Britains floral garden minature toys as kids, I used to spend hours making minature gardens with it, loads of fun.

      The difference between micro and mini , is that the mini its harder to make and maintain , the micro is more about the little figure you use on a stone or moss.
      As soon as will have few minutes off I will start a moss project , I don`t know if you ever heard of moss garden , very similar .

        Catarina , you can`t buy them , but you can simple make them , you can buy plants and all the rest in any good garden center or DIY center.


        I would suggest to buy a bonsai as focal point and create your own teame.
        Have fun and don`t forget to publish some pictures on the forum for us. :blue thumb:
