I cant wait to see what it looks like when all the plants have taken hold! i like the wood and the back ground you used. I think the stone works well too, if it was me i would do something with the white stone that looks like its hovering on the pic lol. No idea what though! Maybe it'll look better when plants are bigger!

I hope you post an update

Smaller white stone was just to hold wood down until it got water logged. Will post an update today
