Description

Press release from the Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County: Kelly March 31st, 2022 With spring around the corner, and things starting to bloom outside (crocusus!), it's natural to want to bring a little bit of your garden inside, by creating a Container Garden. But not just any old garden… A mermaid container garden! Use your imagination (and creativity) to visit new and different worlds, like underwater! It's easy to pretend you are living in a beautiful underwater seascape when you create your very own Mermaid Garden! Similar to your typical container garden, but modified so that this one has an underwater theme and feel. Follow these simple directions (or let your creative side go wild), and your Mermaid Garden will be sure to make a SPLASH! Supplies needed: Container, dirt, pebbles/rocks, seashells, sea glass, plants, other ocean-related decorations, toy mermaid. I recommend using succulents or air plants for the tiny garden, for ease of care. Directions: Don't forget to water your container garden and give it the optimal sun for the plants' needs. Arrange (and rearrange) the sea glass, rocks and mermaid as often as you like. And enjoy! If you loved this, visit the library catalog for more container gardening books!
