Last year I shared with you our Resurrection Rolls and yesterday I shared with you another snack to use while teaching the Easter Story. Today I am sharing an Easter DIY project that is one of my favorites! A Resurrection Garden! Just seeing this on our table reminds me of the true meaning of Easter and is a great reminder of so many things that I am blessed with! It’s an amazingly easy project with lots of variety so feel free to make it your own!
You will need:
– A pot/saucer – Potting Soil
– A smaller terracotta pot
– Rocks (1 bag of small rocks and 1 large)
– Sticks
– Twine/Yarn
– Either Wheat Grass or Moss
First just put a little potting soil into your saucer. Not a lot!
Next, lay your smaller pot on it’s side. This will be your ‘tomb’. Position it where you would like.
Now, lets add the rocks. Use the small ones to create a pathway. The large rock I rolled to the side of the tomb. That way you can see inside that it is empty and that He is risen!
Fill in your garden with dirt. You will want to go over the tomb!
To make the Crosses you simply break a stick and using either yarn, twine or even hot glut stick them together.
Originally we were going to plant wheat grass on ours. It grows really quickly and is nice and thick. But, instead we decided to go for the instant gratification of the moss. 🙂
Ta da! A great reminder and teaching tool for the Easter Story!
Don’t forget to Pin it! 🙂

Wow, that came out awesome. And it’s so easy, too. Great job.
Super creative idea! I have not seen that one before!
That is fantastic. Never would have thought to make anything like that. It’s beautiful and has wonderful meaning behind it.
This has got to be THE best Easter craft I’ve seen! Thanks for staying true to the correct meaning of why we celebrate Easter!
These are super cute if you are Christian. I prefer to celebrate all the Pagan traditions of Easter. Either way, teaching your child to garden is a wonderful skill (even if you just use moss now!)
Oh my golly! can I please “steal” this idea! I love it! What better way to commemorate this season of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ!
Please do! 🙂
Awe, this reminds me of the little Goddess and Fae garden I have outside. They are so fun to decorate!
What a great idea. I love this and it’s perfect to show little ones how the resurrection happened.
I really love that! I really want to try making one of these with my girls.
I pinned it! That’s just such a wonderful way to celebrate the blessed event.
This is a nice way to decorate for the holiday. It’s got the lesson attached to it too, and I Love it.
I really like that, a little electric pump and you’d have a running stream!
wow that is really cool and i love that it is working with the environment as well.
That is really beautiful! What a great way to celebrate Easter!
How cute! That came out great! Loving all the pictures!
How cute that is! It reminds me of a terrarium, so pretty! It’s a terrific project, and those not religious could omit the cross.
That s beautiful! And it would fit in a NYC apartment, cause those tomatoes I tried last year did not work well at all!
thanks,
Mitch
Yes very apartment friendly! 🙂 Pssst you should check into Aerogarden for indoor tomatoes!
This is so cute! I haven’t seen a Resurrection Garden before.
I’ve never heard of a resurrection garden before. It would be even better if there was running water I think! Maybe a tiny pump would work?
I can’t believe how easy that is. It’s so neat and I’d love to have it in my living room year round!
Oh my goodness, this is so creative. What a fun idea, this is wonderful for the kiddos in so many ways. I’d love to make something like this!
Very neat idea. Plus a conversation piece, maybe? Could make on a smaller scale to have at the office or have the grade school kids make at church. Hmm.
Thanks for the post about the Resurrection Garden just in time for Easter!

What a lovely Easter Craft that represents the true reason for the season!
Wow, what a neat idea! I love it!
I like this. A LOT. I teach first and second grade Sunday school. I actually may make this with my kiddos on Sunday!!
If you do I would love to see!! 🙂
That is such a great project. It looks so soothing and peaceful.
This is such a great idea for Easter. I know my mom would absolutely love receiving something like this for her garden.
That’s really pretty! I wouldn’t have thought of doing anything like that!
What a beautiful garden!! A reminder for the reason for the season.
This would be such a creative gift to make for my mother this year. She would love this. I wonder if I can do it in a way and be able to ship it without it falling apart.
This is a wonderful & awesome idea! When I first looked at it, I thought to myself that it is a difficult project. But you nailed it so easily! 🙂
Great idea with Easter coming up! Looks easy & fun to do 🙂
These gardens always amaze me! Beautiful and simple for the kids too
Very unique craft. I like the grass! Thanks for sharing.

That’s a great teaching aide and visual. I like the look of the finished garden.
I think this is super cute, and such a great reminder about what Easter is all about! I think I may be able to handle this, I may make it with the kids this weekend!
This looks nice, and you could call it an elf or fairy garden at other times of the year.
This is so neat… my kids would love to do this! Pinning!
This is too cool! My little ones would love this.
This is a great idea! I am gonna give it a try!

Lovely Easter Garden. My nephew has just made an Easter garden for a competition at school today
This is a wonderful craft. I’m giving it to my son’s Sunday school teacher, she’s always looking for appropriate crafts to tie into Bible readings!
That looks so peaceful and calming. I would love to have one of those sitting on my living room coffee table.
This is a great idea!! I love how it all turned out. Good job!!
I really think that’s so beautiful and nicely done. You have got me wanting to make one with my kids.
Wow that sounds so easy to do, maybe even I could pull it off. Yours turned out great!
This looks like so much fun to make and so easy to do. It looks great.
This is totally awesome – I’d love to make one too!
a lot of people tend to forget what easter is for. This is a great way to remember the real reason we celebrate it.
Wow, that is very easy and fun to make. I will get my kids involve in making one. Thanks!
I LOVE this! It can be a fun project/craft, but also a good lesson for my little one what Easter is really about!
Such a cute little garden. I think the kids at my church would get a kick out of doing miniature versions of this.
This is a great way to celebrate your religion. I bet kids would enjoy making these too.
What a neat and creative idea. I think my youngest two would enjoy making something like this.
