I’ve always admired the teacup gardens on Pinterest, so when I found a cute oversized teacup at a discount store it inspired me to create this little garden.

My local garden centre had several small plants suitable for indoors. I chose to use Dwarf Mondo Grass and Freckle Face – I love the pink and white colours in their leaves. The moss was growing in a friend’s yard.

When putting the garden together, the first thing I needed to do was drill a hole in the bottom of my teacup for drainage. I was able to break up the moss to fit perfectly into the top of the tea cup and around the plants. As you can see from the little hands, I had a helper for the planting. My daughter loves to help me with any task in the garden. I gave it a good water in, then it was ready for the accessories.
