First, find a cool container. I bought this at the Re-Store for two bits (or twenty-five cents.)
Then get some cool river rocks, or stones for drainage. Put them in the bottom of the bottle/jar/container. Careful not to drop them too hard, or the glass will break.
Add some activated charcoal, then some spaghnam moss, which prevents your soil from going into your rocks. (didn't take pictures of this very exciting step, because I fell asleep. [joking]) Then add potting soil.
This next part is super fun. MOSS HUNTING. We have a few different species of moss growing in various parts of our yard. Feather moss.
And this other kind of moss, which is green and grows in a clump, so I am calling it green clump moss.
We found this one with little clovers growing in it, which is beautiful. We added it to the feather moss. And then we considered it done, though we may add a wee little gnome we make out of Sculpty. Who knows?
Such a fun easy project, and as you can see, the entire thing was mostly done by my four year old.
