How to build an indoor Summer's Day

Accesorizing

So you've laid down your sod and you have a lovely carpet of real, green, living grass. What next? The accessories of course! No Cube Landscaping project is complete without flowers, sculpture and decorative sculpture.

Every lawn needs the proper tools to maintain it.

Flowers

Buy some colorful flowers. If you buy flats of flowers, you can cut apart the flimsy plastic six-packs and "plant" them about the cube. Leave the flowers in the containers, it will be easier. Tuck them in the sod seams and between the sod edge and cube wall.

flowers and fence

Every yard needs a picket fence. If you buy the plastic kind that has pointy bits to stab into the ground, bend the pointy bits to slide under the sod layer and keep the fence upright.

the yard

Now you have a quaint little yard!

tree and lawn

If you have an extra tree handy, add it to the yard. Balls or miscellaneous other toys are good to strew about the grass for an authentic look.

more lawn

Including a watering can is always thoughtful. It will help the recipient of the yard successfully maintain it! (Be sure to warn them not to flood the floor!!!)

Lawn BUNNIES!!!

Conservative statues are always great. For this cube, we chose Lawn Bunnies. They add character, humor and adorable-ness to the landscape.

lawn chair

A lawn chair and a celebratory banner (see the blimp in the upper left-hand corner) are the final touches. The chair really finishes the space and the banner provides helpful information to outside observers as well as a permanent keepsake for the recipient of the yard.

all smiles!

Finally, enjoy your yard!
