Tabletop Garden – Black N Matching

Tabletop Container Garden - Black N Matching
This tabletop container garden is my gift to my mom for Mother’s Day this year. When I was designing this garden, I wanted it to be an easy-to-maintain garden that requires little time and attention from my busy mom.

Tabletop Garden – Cactus Garden v2

Tabletop Garden - Cactus Garden v2As I said earlier, I originally planned to cover my tabletop garden – Cactus Garden with a layer of off-white gravels.  But since I couldn’t find any on hand, I used some big black stones instead.  While the tabletop garden looked pretty cool with the black stones, the picture of the garden covered with small gravels had always been in my mind.
