Birch logs and succulents might seem to be an unlikely pairing but together they make an unusual and stunning centerpiece. Water Gardens are a stunning idea for tabletop displays. Megan created this lovely centerpiece that will take her all the way through winter (and beyond!) Those sweet, round globe amaranth blooms make a long-lasting cut flower for bouquets and even better dried flower — just cut a stem when the blossom is fully opened and hang it upside down in a dark, dry spot for about three weeks. Like me, Emily considered herself a serial plant killer, until she planted some easy terrariums in just minutes! Beth at Home Stories A to Z built her own little house for planting succulents. Adorable! It gives a whole new meaning to “house plants”. 😉
As the weather changes and the flowers start to wane outside, it’s a great time to focus on bringing natural beauty indoors.

Tabletop Gardens and Terrariums Ideas As winter gets closer and our only solitude becomes the ever-increasing proximity of Christmas, there's no better time to invest in some indoor plants and stylish plant pots to bring the greenery in. Whether you're a self-proclaimed Alan Titchmarsh protégé or just have your sights on actually keeping something alive for the first time in your life, a cacti collector or the proud plant parent of a flourishing bird of paradise, the right plant pot is the ultimate accessory (and may just facilitate easier plant care too).

You’ll be rewarded with soft herbal scents from lemon thyme and tricolor sage. Don’t be afraid to snip an occasional stem or leaves for your kitchen. ‘Kent Beauty’ ornamental oregano isn’t used for cooking, but its papery flowers can be dried easily for arrangements. Keep this drought-tolerant planting in full sun and go easy on the watering or the roots may rot.These tiny terrariums make great favors for weddings and parties. Just make sure to keep one for yourself! Forget-me-not flowers are a favorite of early spring pollinators, so you might even get a visitor or two while seated at your table. This container needs part sun in early spring, but as the days get hotter, heavier afternoon shade will help extend their life. But the benefits don't stop there. The act of keeping and looking after plants has upshots of its own. "Most plants are extremely easy to look after, but the simple act of tending to them gives your mind a chance to unwind and nurture something," says Cheshire.

x 5'3 Forest Linear Corner Wooden Planter – this product weighs 68kgs and holds up to 230 litres of soil. As you can see, especially when filled with soil it would need very careful handling There are only two plants in this terra-cotta bowl, but that’s enough to be the center of attention for months for a tabletop planting. An underplanting of white vinca is perfect to set off the playful orbs springing from the globe amaranth. Make sure your planting partners share the same growing needs. Both globe amaranth and vinca thrive in the heat of full sun and tolerate drying out a bit between watering.

In the same way a suit is never complete without the perfect pair of formal shoes and a bed isn't a bed without a comfy mattress, no plant should be without a stylish plant pot. That's just a fact. Another wonderful plant for tabletop gardens are cacti. Loads of color and texture make them wonderful to gaze upon.
If a woodland terrarium isn’t to your lichen :-). How about another “no kill” terrarium that brings the sound of the ocean to your table top?
