This is one of those 'oh so cute,
I'm a cactus and succulent lover.
So this quirky desert-style mini garden is just my thing.
To create you will need:
potting mix
3 x baby cactus plants
Line each bowl with wet sand and press into place.
Add a layer of potting mix.
Put the baby cacti in the centre and backfill with potting mix.
Put a top layer of sand on the top.

Hint: Make a paper collar to avoid the prickles and make for easier manoeuvring.
The Mini desert gardens require minimal watering.
Remember, there is no drainage in the glass bowl, so it is vital not to overwater them, or they will rot.
I displayed each bowl in a little wooden box on the coffee table.
The cloth is vintage.
Oh, so pretty, don't you think?
I adore the passionflower design.
Right now I'm loving vintage fabric
