In the construction of the pocket forest Emma, Claudia and I created a variety of miniature trees and plants at different heights to create an understory, canopy and emergent layer for our collective model.

We also covered the ground with soil, boulders and fallen leaves to create a forrest floor.

To construct the trees we used sticks and moss gathered from the garden and varying forms of glue.

To attach the trees to the forest base I had to drill a hole first then fill it with hot glue and put the tree into the hole to create stability in the model as the trees are quite top heavy and wanted to fall over.
