Hi all! I did not realize this planting had caused such an interest! Through pintrest an facebook it has gone around the world. Never thought my humble little project would attract such attention.
Here is a close-up of the bottom basket. It is a basket made of green hardware cloth bent to fit the bottom of the small cage. This was taken this spring before I tucked in more moss and refreshed some of the plants. I had left it out in the weather all winter and it was getting a bit shaggy. I usually water it lightly and if it gets very dry I submerge it carefully in a pan of water for an hour or so.
Thanks for all the kind words! Go forth and create!
