Americans became fascinated with all things
Japanese after the opening of the Japanese exhibit
and pavilion at the 1893 Columbian Exposition
in Chicago. A minor mania in dish gardens
(Hachi-Niwa) was a part of this trend, as travelers
brought home these tiny landscapes from Japan or
had them made once they returned.
Japanese landscape gardeners were accustomed
to providing dish gardens as scale models of their
proposed garden plans for their wealthy clients.

Proper Care:

Remember to rotate your dish garden regularly.
Supplemental light can be used for dish gardens, such as
under-the-cabinet LED lights.

Fertilizing should be minimal due to the confines of the
container, except for flowering plants. As the dish garden
ages it will be more critical to fertilize.

Tend your dish garden as you would a full-size garden:
