I Want To Make A Succulent Orb

February 3, 2010 · 9 comments

I found this succulent orb kit on Etsy.

Succulent Orb

The idea is to design and build your own tiny succulent garden and either set it on a sunny windowsill (it has a flat bottom) or hang it in a window. What a fun idea. It reminds me of the miniature terrariums I posted about HERE.

Micro gardens are very stylish. I think it would be something kids would enjoy helping with as well. Just don’t let them use it for a football!

LOL – yes a football usage would NOT be good.

I love the idea of doing this with kids. And I think this idea also hits home with us because so many of us sit at desks all day. Having this micro garden to look at is wonderful.
