Amazon Basics Tabletop Planter, Square - White/Copper

Product Information

Water Gardens are a stunning idea for tabletop displays. Megan created this lovely centerpiece that will take her all the way through winter (and beyond!)

Those sweet, round globe amaranth blooms make a long-lasting cut flower for bouquets and even better dried flower — just cut a stem when the blossom is fully opened and hang it upside down in a dark, dry spot for about three weeks. Succulents in tin cans were the perfect pairing for a graduation party — a boy’s graduation party, I should say. A fairy kneeling on a jello mold. A fence of butter knives. These are just a couple of the vintage kitchen items Charlene incorporated into her adorable herb garden.If a woodland terrarium isn’t to your lichen :-). How about another “no kill” terrarium that brings the sound of the ocean to your table top? What a lovely natural centerpiece this would make for Easter! The dangling egg and a couple of tiny blossoms add a little touch of Spring. As winter gets closer and our only solitude becomes the ever-increasing proximity of Christmas, there's no better time to invest in some indoor plants and stylish plant pots to bring the greenery in. Whether you're a self-proclaimed Alan Titchmarsh protégé or just have your sights on actually keeping something alive for the first time in your life, a cacti collector or the proud plant parent of a flourishing bird of paradise, the right plant pot is the ultimate accessory (and may just facilitate easier plant care too). Because the plants are so close, it's easier to spot the small imperfections, so choose low-maintenance varieties that are self-cleaning or need little deadheading. Have a plan for watering: Use saucers or remove the container from the table before watering to prevent any water stains. As the weather changes and the flowers start to wane outside, it’s a great time to focus on bringing natural beauty indoors. I’ve gathered some beautiful and unique ideas for creating your own tabletop gardens. For those with less time to water, may I suggest trying one of the succulent or cacti gardens. Regardless of the plants you use, I love the wide variety of creative containers used for these mini-environments. Tabletop Gardens and Terrariums Ideas
