Create a Tabletop Grass Garden

Wheatgrass in an Hour

Grow a lush grass patch in any container—terra‑cotta pot, saucer, seed flat. Customize with seasonal accents: ceramic eggs, tiny flowers, mini pumpkins. Swap groundcovers: moss, baby’s tears, creeping thyme, sedum.

Materials

• Rectangular wood box or flat
• Potting soil
• Wheatgrass seed
• Plant mister
• Votive candles in holders

Steps

1. Start 2 weeks ahead. Fill flat to 1″ from rim. Sow wheatgrass thickly; cover with ¼″ soil.
2. Mist thoroughly. Place in sunny spot (south window). Keep moist, not wet.
3. At 2″ tall, add candles or decorations.

Tip

Use 3″ terra‑cotta pots for individual grass gardens on a windowsill, mantel, or as place settings.
