🛠 How to Build (The Flat-Lay Puzzle)

To ensure your puzzle is assembled correctly and looks great, follow this sequence:

1. Lay Out the Base: Place the white base plate flat on a table or even surface.
2. Insert the Pins: Take the colored pins and press them firmly into the holes on the base plate. These act as the "anchors" for your plants.
3. Place Pots & Stems: Slide a flower pot over the pin first, followed by a green stem piece. Ensure both are resting flat against the base plate.

4. Stack & Grow: Now for the fun part! Use the remaining height of the pin to stack different sizes of flowers. You can layer up to three pieces (Large -> Medium -> Small) to create a beautiful 3D effect!

   
   Pro Tip: Mix and match the pin colors with the flower petals to give your garden a new look every single day!
