Miniature gardens- I have a few scenes I created with my house plants. Jurassic park and a parrot
forest, to snail homes. I tried to grow food in my bachelor apartment but there wasn’t enough light. When
I planted containers with plants that would grow well in my apartment, there was a lot of bare soil, so I
added things I had around to make them more attractive.
