Apothecary style

These recycled, straight-sided vases are great for mini-landscapes, and allow easy access for pruning and watering, making them a good option for beginners. I’ve used a taller plant here to ensure that we don’t have lots of empty space above – and have added some minature sheep for a bit of fun.
