 One of America's most popular outdoor activities has now gone to the scale of the desk top. Developed for its year-round adaptability and as a new indoor hobby, Desk Top Gardening® combines the art of bonsai, the convenience of container planting, the pleasure of model building, and the fun of flower arranging. And, when you add the popularity of miniature furnishings, you have a desk-top garden complete with lawns, shrubs, shade trees and garden furniture -- to a miniature scale, of course. The Desk Top Garden mirrors its real-size counterpart in several ways. It requires the careful planning and placement of plants to fully exhibit their visual qualities. It allows amenities such as accent boulders and cobblestone paths to be installed for function as well as form. Each composition has site furnishings and sculpture (benches, lawn chairs, and even lanterns that really light) for a finishing touch that creates the personal feel of privacy. The physical requirements of Desk Top Gardening® are much less
than those of more typical home landscapes. For instance, you will not need large open
spaces to plant your trees or flowers. You will not need to irrigate every day with
gallons and gallons of water, nor will you need to constantly add harmful chemicals to
help your garden grow. Miniature trees, shrubs and groundcover masses can be developed in
shallow planters with as little as three or four inches of soil depth, which will require
less amounts of water and no harmful chemicals. An ecologically aware gardener will find
Desk Top Gardening® the perfect alternative to costly and expensive home landscaping. |
