Have you ever seen miniature gardens?  I was inspired when I first saw them.  They were so adorable and I knew I could make them myself.  All I needed was a container, some soil, two or three small plants, a few miniature items, and a little creativity.

First thing I did was check to see what I might already have on hand.  I had a clay pot, soil, sand, shells, and some small glass stones.  Some of the stones were blue and some were yellow shaped fish so I decided to design a small beach scene.
