Planning

Planning is an important part of this project. Before you begin spend some time considering where you would like to place your mini dish garden. Consider the light that is offered.

The answers to these questions will help you choose the plants for your mini dish garden.

More questions are: How large is the space for your dish garden? How high can the dish garden be? What shape would fit best in the space a long rectangular planter, a square dish, or a round dish or planter?

Finally what type of dish garden would you like? Would you like a mini herb garden? Would you like a garden of succulents? Would you enjoy a mixture of plants? And what sort of garden accessories would complement the plants?

Gathering Materials

Once you have answered the above questions you are ready to begin gathering the necessary materials to create your mini garden dish. Take a list of your answers with you to purchase the container, soil, plants and accessories. Make sure you have the dimensions of the container you can accommodate. Know the maximum height you would like the plants to reach. And have the amount of light and intensity of the light the garden will receive.

Shop for the container first since the size and shape of the container will help determine how many plants you can fit into it. Consider the type of garden as you select your container such as a terra cotta dish for succulents, a window box shape for creating a path in the garden, or a decorative container which matches your décor. After you have your container and plants you can begin to shop for buildings or accessories to complete your mini garden.
