Un clay pot now broken it can be brought back to life thanks to the creation of mini-gardens. This is a great idea suitable for decorating the courtyard or balcony. The mini-gardens are born from the imagination and from creative recycling. They can contain flowers and aromatic herbs, but also decorations of all kinds, often made by hand.
In the mini-gardens you can create settings that recall the world of fairy tales and fate. Inside you can insert ladders or hand-made houses and even real miniature characters. The shards of broken pots can be reassembled to create a small terrarium.
Among the materials to be used we find well-polished pebbles, pine cones and dry leaves. To proceed you can assemble the larger parts of the vase, in order to recreate it almost completely, but leaving a large opening on the front. By combining fragments of terracotta collected from broken pots, or small saucers, you can create internal shelves, alternating them with the soil.
Continue the decorations by placing small ones in the vases evergreen seedlings or delle herbs. With plywood or clay to work you can shape miniature houses, fountains, steps, characters and small animals with which to create your wonderful miniature garden.
The blog The Garden Diaries explains through pictures how to create a mini garden from a broken clay pot. It will become the perfect space to insert a fictional character, for example a little one gnome.
1) Fill the clay pot with del topsoil, for a little less than half and insert the larger fragment inwards.
2) Continue adding the soil. With pebbles of the appropriate size create a pathway. Insert some evergreen seedlings on top of the vase. Even the fat plants can be fine.
3) At this point you can dedicate yourself to final decorations and take advantage of all your imagination and dexterity to make them. You will also be able to recover useful items from old toys, boxed games or from dollhouses.
