Look, let’s be frank with one another: If you’re browsing this website, you’re statistically more likely than the median individual to be involved in a hobby that will—at one time or another—provide you with a use case for small, pretend plants. Maybe you’re building scenery for a model train to move through. Maybe you’re adding base detail to your tabletop minis and green stuff isn’t cutting it. Maybe you just want to construct a diorama to allow your scale figurines to have a nice day at the park.

I don’t say this from a place of judgment. I have three unbuilt gunpla kits just outside my field of view; it’s only a matter of time before this sickness progresses to the point where I’m tempted to meticulously arrange plastic foliage. Which is why, this Prime Day, I’m presenting you with historic savings on miniature shrubbery.

Consider the elegantly named Tufts Terrain Model Kit for Miniature Bases & Model Grass Tufts -Diorama Supplies & Diorama Grass for Mini Basing & Gaming Scenery (Withered Winter Ｇrass) set from Spriplant, which offers a grand total of 154 tufts, poufs, and bunches of flavorfully parched winter grass in three distinct sizes. It’s an abundance of multi-sized miniature yellow greenery, more than I might—or indeed could—ever use. And they’re all available for a mere $12, the lowest price in the listing’s history.

That’s less than eight cents per miniature plastic grass tuft. Even now, our modern society is capable of wonders.

But don’t just take my word for it. One Amazon customer testimonial says Spriplant’s tufts “hold together fine when touched/brushed,” while another notes that—though they’re “more typical of an early autumn tuft where the crops start to slowly fade into yellows”—the Withered Winter Grass has a “really nice texture and durability.”

If you’d prefer more variety in your sprite-sized ground cover, allow me to instead suggest Warmtree’s Static Grass Bushy Tufts Lowland Shrubs Tuft Terrain Model Kit for Train Landscape Railroad Scenery Sand Military Layout Model Miniature Bases and Dioramas, providing 126 tufts in a selection of different shrubbery styles and color variations. It’s a slightly smaller collection, but that’s paired with a lower price: $10, which—like the Spriplant tufts—is an unprecedented discount for this SKU of little bushes.

There. I’ve done all I can to introduce a path towards some semblance of meaning and fulfilment, however shallow that kinship might be—but there’s no need to thank me. That’s what Prime Day is for.
