🌿 Introduction: The Garden as a Storybook
Not all gardens stretch across fields or climb trellised walls. Some live quietly in boxes—on balconies, windowsills, or slatted tables kissed by morning light. These miniature gardens are not just spaces for plants—they are stories waiting to be told.
In this article, we explore the creation of a whimsical planter box, where vibrant celosia blooms mingle with white flowers, green foliage, and playful rabbit figurines. It’s a celebration of small-space gardening, decorative storytelling, and the joy of crafting beauty with intention and imagination.
Let’s begin with the “ingredients”—the elements that make this box a living fairytale.
