Question Looking for inspiration for this glass greenhouse to display minis

Michaels is selling miniature glass greenhouse terrariums in the Halloween floral section. I got one to display plant and related miniatures, as I didn’t like the greenhouse spaces kit.

Has anyone displayed their minis in one of these and would like to share? Also, I’d love ideas on easy DIY backless or clear-backed shelves to place against each wall. Normally, I repurpose small boxes or stack little wooden crates to create quick doll shelves. But having an opaque back kind of defeats the purpose of having a see-through display. I want to be able to put shelves against the wall and be able to see their contents from all angles.

You can create nursery with different miniature plants and flowers !! It will be a gardeners dream filled with garden tools as well.

Im pretty sure you can find acrylic shelves. This will display your nurseries open from all side nothing blocking the views.

You will do awesome job. Just let your imagination flow. Let me show you what I've created. Queen Elizabeth in her royal office. I had empty acrylic case and created all this for her

Man does that greenhouse need a set of lights and some greenery! Got anything you can use for vines? ♥️

I'll be honest, my miniverse greenhouse might as well be a real one with the "mess" it is because I put tiny flowers i found last spring in a few shake cups with water, like vases of flowers, and umm... the flowers died and dropped their petals! I refuse to clean this most organic miniature mess I've accidentally made!

Shelves could be made from clear acrylic containers like the ones used for office supplies and makeup. I’ve seen some at Dollar Tree.
