A friend makes these decorative miniature gardens to sell on market stalls. She calls them Pleasure Pots because it gives her pleasure to make them. She recently did a demonstration for a bus load of elderly visitors and provided materials so they could make their own. Those who took up her challenge were delighted with their achievements. Apparently they are perfect for retirement home living - mini gardens that require mini care. Just a regular misting of water from a spray bottle keeps them thriving.
