Dwarf Plants

Way to Grow : Episode WTG-121 -- More Projects »
Doug Hearn of Disney's Epcot Center shares a fun, simple project that any gardening enthusiast will enjoy--a delightful miniature garden filled with a medley of dwarf plants. Although many varieties are sold in local nurseries for just a few dollars, it's not difficult to find discarded dwarf plants that have been put out for the trash collectors!
