Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this forum, but thought maybe I could post some photos of the topiary tortoise I made this summer. I decided to only use stuff I could find in my shed, so it was a bit hit and miss making it, and most of the semps and sedum that I used I already had, but I did buy one or two plants on sale as I was running out of larger ones. The moss that I used to stuff the tortoise came from my friend's lawn (she was happy to get rid of it), and that brought with it some grass that has grown in and filled up some spaces. Here are some photos that show it from start to finish (the two smaller tortoises in the last two photos are Doris and Dolly, my Horsfield tortoises).
