These 20 Beautiful Teacup Gardens Will Restore Your Sense of Zen

Gardening is said to be a meditative and relaxing activity, but what if you could take things a bit further?

Mini teacup gardens are proof that you can make something beautiful into something cute! The concept is simple, and the idea is to create small green spaces that fit on the corner of our desks or another area that could use some color.

These lovely teacup gardens will inspire you to create your own and hopefully add a touch of cuteness to your humdrum day.

18. Why Settle For Just One Teacup Garden?

You can have a world of them!

It’s an absolutely glorious day here @chateaudebourneau ☀️ so my (possibly fraught but enthusiastic) bulb planting 🌱 spree continues outside. But just look at my indoor bulbs so far! I can’t take credit for the pink hyacinth in view, as this was a lovely gift from @syldicy , but look at my teacup garden- there is a sense of promise and expectation!!🤞I feel like a 5-year old at “show & tell” completely delighted by nature but you must understand that this is all coming from a Londoner who was incapable of keeping a spider plant looking vaguely healthy. It’s all about the simple pleasures! Have a lovely Saturday

🌸🌱💎 Do-it-yourself tea cup garden 🌿 I used: Dried moss, single chicken&hen blossom/bud (with roots), assorted crystal points (clear quartz & amethyst), and flower potting soil. Use your desired tea cup/mug/tiny planter/bowl/mini vase ✨ I filled the tea cup about 3/4 with soil, pushed a hole and planted the clipping, added the moss poof, and arranged the crystals to cover the remaining exposed soil. I water it about once a week with just about 1 tbs of water. Happy on a windowsill or sunny/partly shaded area outdoors during the warmer months 🌞 #sylvanmosaic #teacup #garden #chickensandhens #crystals #doityourself #fairycore #fairyvibes #moristyle #earthy #springishere #colorful #gardening #nature #creative #simplicity #positivevibes #teacupgarden #fairygarden

And why not add a tiny ladder?

#cactus . We think too much about🤔 the pots in our garden. Which flowerpot will be the best😍 and which is not😑. In this turmoil 😒we often do something which is different from our thinking. Whether the flowerpot is small or big, a forest inside it easily fits. ☘🌿🌲🌳 I also made a small cactus garden in a tea cup. 🌵🌵🌳Which is now being developed in a very good way😇😇. now you will definitely tell me how you liked it at first sight. . . #cactus #cactuslover #cactus🌵 #cactusgarden #teacupgarden #mygreentreasure #plantmakepeoplehappy #succulenta #succulentsofinstagram #instacactus #instacactuslovers#homedeco #bestoutofwasteideas #decor #smallgarden #smallgardenideas #fairygarden #planter #makeyourself
