A Garden Pavilion Under a Glass Dome
The Hanging Garden is a miniature garden pavilion that looks lovely from every side: a round white building with arched windows, curved steps sweeping up to the door, flower boxes spilling over with blooms and trailing greenery, and a clear dome on top with a little pond beneath it. Inside there's a piano with its bench, bookshelves, a painter's easel and dozens of potted plants, and a wind chime of tiny bells hangs from the roof. Five small lights make it glow in the evening. Every wooden part is labelled, and most of the fun is in making the flowers and furniture that fill it.
