Resurrections gardens are a favorite of mine to make before Easter. There are many different flower themes you can. The main items you want are a tomb, stone, and three crosses. The design pictured below was made using succulents purchased at Farmhouse Garden Succulents.
I have already made a resurrection garden using all kinds of spring flowers, too.
This post has affiliated links, if you purchase items through these links, I receive a few pennies but your price doesnt change.
The items you will need are:
- 12-inch clay saucer you may need a deeper pot if using larger flowers
- small white pebbles
- moss
- Jute String
- Potting Soil
- 5 succulents or 5 small flowers of your choice
- 3-inch clay pot
- round stone
Directions to assemble the garden:
Layer 2 cups of white stones on the bottom of the 12-inch clay saucer. Position the small clay flower pot in the center, slight turned to the left side.
Lay the moss in a shallow pan of water to re-hydrate it and make it more pliable.
Add potting soil 2/3 of the way around the small clay pot. Allow room in front of the pot for a stone walkway. Arrange the succulents/flowers around the pot, adding more soil to make a smooth mound. Lay moss over the top of the clay pot and down along the sides. Add more stones to make the pathway even with the top edge of the clay saucer.
Cut twigs, 2 3-inches long, 1 4-inches, 2 9-inches, and one 11 inches long. Form the large cross by wrapping twine to hold the 4-inch cross piece onto the 11 -inch piece. Knot the twine in the back of the cross. Repeat for remixing two crosses. Place the crosses in the ground, pressing additional potting soil around them if needed. Lay moss around the crosses to conceal the potting soil.
You can add more decorative touches such as small mushrooms, a well, bench, a small white cloth in the tomb, ect
You can also add Spanish moss around the succulents in the front if you would like.
Dollar General has tiny garden accents which add some character to the gardens.
