My Norman bases have an arid appearance so to offset the desert image I added some planting. I opted to use individual plants rather than “scatter” or “flock”. This ties in better with the more arid look. I did do a few bases with some bush flock and they look ok. I used three product types. Bush flock, grass tufts and plants. I also tried a couple of seasonal variants for the grass tufts.
I used gaugemaster NOCH plants of two types – stalky on left and on the right stalks with heads with large tufts at the bottom.


I did a couple of bases with US based company Woodland Scenics light green bush material just laid on the ground.

More crumb based than discrete stalks I am pleased with the outcome.
