        Hi Kimberley,

        Can I make a suggestion please.

        Get some small coloured gravel or pebbles to finish it off.
        You could get two colours and make a pathway to the houses from the gap at the front :)

          There is one pathway with black edging stones with peach coloured gravel on the gravel sits two toadstools and a hedgehog. Theread is a big flat stone in front of the other house. The sedum have filled out a lot I planted earlier in the year.

                  Love it, @Kimberley :wub2: If the sedums keep growing so well, it will soon fill out to be an even more beautiful space with hidden promise! Well done :thumbsup:

                  PS: You posted in absolutely the right place :dbgrtmb:

                    I started one of these off last summer - it's still a work in progress. Again in an old galvanised bath - some previous dollshouse items and compost - still not yet planted up. Will need to do it properly this Spring and find somewhere in the garden to site it. Thinking maybe some thyme might suit?

                      My granddaughter and I and made one for her mum's Christmas present two years ago. Watch out, they can be habit forming. We have made several more since then.
