Apartment Lawn - Indulging a tortoise.

We may spoil our animals a little. Our Herman’s tortoise has been hibernating and we thought she deserved something nice to wake up to.

This is more “assembly” than crafting, but turned out well nonetheless. The basic parts are:

• Edging stones
• Drop Plastic
• Potting Dirt
• Sod
• Lettuce plants
• Seeds

We first laid out and measured a piece of plastic to go under the whole thing, then cut it to size. Then the stones were laid out to make room for the sod. A layer of dirt was put down for the grass to grow down into, and to fill a little “planter” spot next to it. Sod next, and lettuce plants put in. Various seeds were then scattered over the whole thing to spring up as “weeds” for her to chomp on. 

I may have “mowed” this with a pair of scissors at some point.
