Miniature Matchbox Gardens

Matchcarden Cultivates Tiny Gardens in Miniature Townhouses

— June 23, 2011 — Art & Design
Maintaining large plants indoors can often be difficult, but with Matchcarden it is possible to accent your home with a little greenery without all the hassle of indoor gardening! The adorable city street trio of mini-gardens are set against the backdrop of three elegant townhouses. Whether standing alone or in the set, these mini gardens are about the size of a standard matchbox and would look great on any book shelf or dining room table!

The cute creations are from 'Another Studio' and come equipped with everything you need to cultivate your own little lawn: simply attach your house to garden, sow the seeds and add a little water. Your seeds should sprout within three days and with little to no maintenance, can last up to three weeks. You can personalize your Matchcarden by cutting out additional features and adding chimneys, rooftops or street lamps.

As a decorative tool, or even a project for the kids, Matchcarden will add flavor in small doses to your home!
