Altoids Tin Garden

Gardening

Marque Cornblatt of Gomi Style crafted these sweet miniature gardens in Altoids tins. Marque used tiny succulent cuttings and small herbs in organic potting soil, and suggests misting them a few times a day. My favorite is the little garden he made for Buddha:

There are tons of cool project ideas that involve Altoids tins, and this is a great twist.

    What plants specifically are pictured? I would love to see a slightly detailed tutorial and have these on my own desk

    it’s cute, but DO NOT MIST SUCCULENTS! Are you crazy? They will rot and die. give them maybe a few droplets of water once a week.
    Herbs probably will want misting.

I'm a word nerd who loves to geek out on how emerging technology affects the lexicon. I was an editor on the first 40 volumes of MAKE, and I love shining light on the incredible makers in our community. In particular, covering art is my passion — after all, art is the first thing most of us ever made. When not fawning over perfect word choices, I can be found on the nearest mountain, looking for untouched powder fields and ideal alpine lakes.
