Water Garden

She wants a pet…a lot. Why not start her off with something nice and easy, and beautiful to boot? This completely zen and utterly cool aquarium water garden is perfect for her dresser or desk. But it also is a bit of a science experiment: the topside garden and bottom side fish bowl create a symbiotic ecosystem. As the small herbs and decorative plants in the top grow, the water is circulated past their roots, which purifies the water, water which is then recycled back to the bottom tank, which makes for one happy fish. If she can keep both parts alive…well, you’ll talk about getting a hamster.
