IT'S INDICATIVE OF YOUR
PERSONALITY HERE.
AND WE'RE GOING TO THROW IT BACK
TO OUR VIEWERS.
SHARE WITH -- THANK YOU, GUYS.
I'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.
FIONA IS UNDER THE WEATHER.
WE HOPE YOU'RE FEELING GOOD.
I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU ON
FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM.
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A MESS,
AREN'T WE?
MIRIAM IS FROM WHIMSICAL GARDEN
AND YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF
LOCATIONS AROUND TOWN.
YOU HAVE PLANTS AND WE'RE GOING
TO MAKE A TERRARIUM WITH SAND
ART.
THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE YOU
BUILT THESE TO HANG IN WINDOWS
AND YOU CAN PUT PLANTS AND KIDS
CAN HAVE FUN WITH THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING A
LITTLE DIFFERENT WITH THE
COLORS.
WE HAVE ALREADY OUR PLANTS READY
FOR TRANSFER.
REMEMBER THAT SAND ART
TERRARIUMS DO HAVE SOIL IN THEM.
SO YOUR PLANT CANNOT LIVE IN
ONLY SAND.
Jeff: SO THE SAND WILL KILL
IT EVEN THOUGH IT'S A CACTUS.
I'M GOING TO USE THESE SURGICAL
TONGS TO INSERT THIS INTO THE
TERRARIUM.
THESE ARE GREAT TO BUILD.
YES, THEY ARE.
VERY EASY.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO SLIDE YOUR
PLANT ALL THE WAY INSIDE YOUR
CONTAINER.
AND YOU HAVE YOUR PLANT
CENTERED.
YOU CAN FIND ALL THESE MATERIALS
IN CRAFT STORES OF YOUR
PREFERENCE.
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS START
WITH THE FIRST LAYER.
WE HAVE FOUR DIFFERENT COLORS
AND WE HAVE SAND.
Jeff: WHY DON'T YOU BUILD
ONE.
I'M GOING TO DO MINE RIGHT HERE.
LOOK AT THIS.
THIS IS NOT EASY.
I FEEL LIKE A SURGEON.
THERE YOU ARE.
SO THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS
THE FIRST LAYER.
THE FIRST LAYER HAS TO BE LIKE A
WAVE.
WHEN YOU DROP YOUR SAND, PUT
YOUR SPOON CLOSE TO THE EDGE,
LIKE THIS.
THEN YOU'RE GOING TO LET THE
SAND GO ALL IN THE SAME SPOT.
THERE'S THIS LITTLE WAVE
FORMING.
YOU'RE GOING TO TURN YOUR
CONTAINER AND ADD ANOTHER
SPOONFUL OF THE SAME COLOR.
Jeff: RIGHT THERE TO THE
EDGE.
SAME COLOR.
SO WE BUILD A LAYER.
AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO TURN
IT SO YOU CAN HAVE ANOTHER WAVE.
YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD THE FIRST
LAYER IN THE SAME COLOR.
Jeff: I'M GOING TO USE
SPURS COLORS.
WE HAVE OUR FIRST LAYER DOWN
HERE.
I'M GOING TO CONTINUE.
I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND ADD
WHITE.
WE'RE MAKING ONE IN THE KSAT
COLORS.
OUR NEXT COLOR IS GOING TO GO IN
BETWEEN THE FIRST WAVE HERE ON
THIS AREA.
Jeff: YOU CAN'T MOVE IT
BECAUSE THEN YOU'LL MESS IT UP.
IF YOU MOVE YOUR CONTAINER
ALL THE SAND IS GOING TO GO
FLAT.
SO THE NEXT LAYER, A SPOONFUL.
THERE YOU GO.
YOU'RE GOING TO FILL IN ALL
THOSE GAPS AS YOU GO AND YOU'RE
GOING TO CREATE FOUR DIFFERENT
LAYERS SHOWING THE GAP.
Jeff: AM I ALLOWED TO MIX
UP LAYERS?
IS IT OKAY TO DO THIS NOW?
YES.
THAT'S PART OF THE ART.
DEFINITELY.
Jeff: TELL ME WHAT ELSE YOU
DO AT WHIMSICAL GARDEN?
WE ALSO MAKE CONTAINER GARDEN
ARRANGEMENTS.
AND I HAVE BIRDCAGES IN ALL
SIZES, SMALL, MEDIUM, AND LARGE.
WE ALSO HAVE CERAMIC CONTAINERS.
SMALL CENTERPIECES.
WE HAVE MINI -- I HAVE A MINI
COLLECTION OF PLANTS, BONSAI
STYLE.
Jeff: LOOK, I DON'T WANT TO
MESS THIS UP.
I'M NOT SURE HOW YOU SHRUNK THE
CAMEL BUT IT'S IN THERE.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT A KID
CAN MAKE FOR MOTHER'S DAY.
Jeff: WHERE CAN THEY FIND
OUT MORE?
YOU CAN GO TO MY WEBSITE IS
WHIMSICAL GARDEN.
Jeff: YOU HAVE LOTS OF
LOCATIONS IN THOUSAND OAKS.
HOMESTEAD THOUSAND OAKS,
HOMESTEAD BLANCO.
AND INSIDE THE RUSTY WHEEL.
Jeff: THIS IS VERY
RELAXING.
I DON'T KNOW THAT IF I'M DOING
THIS RIGHT BUT LOOK HOW THE
COLORS STACK UP.
IS THAT OKAY TO HAVE IT GET
CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE CACTUS?
AT SOME POINT YOU WANT TO
COVER ALL THE SOIL IN THAT
CACTUS.
BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO ADD SOME
DECORATIONS TO MAKE IT PERSONAL.
Jeff: YOU GOT ANY PIRATES?
I HAVE SOME ANIMALS AND
SEASHELLS.
Jeff: YOU GOT A TIM DUNCAN
I CAN PUT IN THERE?
NO, NO TIM DUNCAN FOR YOU.
Jeff: WE COULD GET A TIM
DUNCAN STATUE.
IT WOULD BE ABOUT 8 INCHES TALL.
IT WOULD BE THE TALLEST THING IN
THERE.
I'M GOING TO COVER MINE.
I'M GOING TO FINISH LAYERING IT
WITH REGULAR SAND.
I WANT TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THIS
IS THE BEACH OR THE DESERT.
THAT THING THERE.
ALL THESE YOU CAN CLEAN AT THE
END.
Jeff: DO YOU NEED TO WATER
THESE?
YOU NEED TO WATER EVERY TWO
WEEKS.
YOU'RE GOING TO ADD TWO
TABLESPOONS OF WATER.
SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO WATER
EVERY WEEK.
IT DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU HAVE THE
AIR CONDITIONER.
SOMETIMES IT DRIES UP A LITTLE
MORE.
I HAVE MINE READY AND I HAVE
SOME DECORATIONS YOU CAN ADHERE.
I'M GOING TO SPRINKLE SOME
SEASHELLS.
Jeff: THIS IS FUN AND I'M A
GROWN MAN.
I'M GOING TO PUT AN ANIMAL.
I'M GOING TO PUT A HIPPO IN
THERE.
Jeff: SO NOW I PUT MY SAND
IN THERE.
I'M GOING TO GIVE MY HIPPO
SOMETHING TO EAT.
HE'S PROBABLY HUNGRY FROM
TRAVELING.
Jeff: DO YOU TALK TO THESE
ANIMALS A LOT?
IS THIS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DO
THIS?
NO, IF YOU TALKED TO THE
ANIMALS YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO
PUT IT IN THERE.
Jeff: OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T
EAT THE CACTUS BUT YOU WANT TO
TALK TO THE ANIMALS.
WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL CAN I PUT IN
MINE?
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP ADDING
MORE DECORATIONS.
WE ALSO HAVE DIFFERENT ROCKS
THAT YOU CAN KEEP ADDING TO GIVE
IT SOME LAYERS AND DEPTH.
NOW YOUR PLANT IS GOING TO
CONTINUE GROWING.
IT'S GOING TO GROW UP.
Jeff: AM I OKAY TO PUT HIM
IN THERE?
YOU CAN PUT YOUR TIGER IN
THERE.
YOU CAN MOVE THIS A LITTLE.
GO AHEAD AND PUT YOUR TIGER.
Jeff: PUT MY TIGER IN A
TANK.
HE'S CLIMBING A CACTUS.
[ANIMAL NOISES]
DO YOU SEE THE SIZE OF YOUR
CACTUS, JEFF?
THAT IS A BONSAI.
THAT CACTUS IS TWO YEARS OLD.
IT'S A PROCESS SIMILAR TO WHAT
WE DO TO BONSAI TREE.
THIS IS A REGULAR-SIZED PLANT.
THAT'S THE REGULAR-SIZED PLANT.
AND THIS IS JUST A BONSAI IS TWO
YEARS OLD.
SEE HOW SMALL IT IS.
Jeff: SO THAT WILL GROW.
THAT WILL CONTINUE GROWING.
Jeff: I HAVE TO CLEAN ALL
THAT OUT.
WE HAVE A BRUSH HERE WHERE WE
CAN JUST CLEAN THIS AREA LIKE
THIS.
IF YOUR CACTUS GOT SOME SAND YOU
CAN JUST BRUSH IT OFF.
Jeff: THANKS FOR BRUSHING
MY CACTUS.
I DON'T THINK I WOULD HAVE EVER
SAID THAT ON TELEVISION BEFORE
BUT THAT'S GREAT AND THAT'S A
LOT OF FUN.
GRANDPARENTS AND EVERYBODY WILL
EAT THAT UP.
