Altoids Tin Garden

marques_altoids_garden3.jpg

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.

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.

What types of clippings?

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