Flower bushes and shrubs.

I’ve always liked the Creative Accents line from Scenic Express.

I use sedum plants, dry and cover with green ground cover and glue..or hair spray.

Looking for something like this? I was trying to make a town garden.

The bushes are WS clump bushes (1/4 to 1/2 inch but nothing you can't stick together to make larger)  The white flowers are from WS flower pack (a little goes a long way) The tree I picked up at a meet (not sure of the brand) WS static grass and the dirt is coffee grounds. I dipped the bushes into glue and then sprinkled the flowers over the glue.  If you are going for something 2 inches tall, I would think about making a wire armature and gluing the bushes to them. Otherwise it may look too dense, but your eye will tell you what's pleasing.

Scenic Express, dead fall forest debris.  An interesting random ground cover.

I like this one a lot.  What do you use for the flowers that keep them from looking the size of a football?

@Forty Rod  Tom - its on the post but the flowers are from a Woodland Scenics Flower pack (4 colors - yellow, white, orange and red flowers). The stuff seems like finely ground up foam. Fine but granular in feel. I suppose its more in how you apply the glue to the bushes to avoid the big clumps. I just lightly touched the bush into the glue keeping the glue from getting anything more than on the outer surface.  I suppose you could use a pointed brush to apply the glue with more precision.  After that its light sprinkling until you get the flower density wanted.

Great hint.  Thanks.  I'll get an order out soon.
