A 1x1 round plate will fit in a 1/4" diameter hole nicely. This will allow
trees and flowers to be placed on the board in various places for a more
natural look. Just drill holes where you want to place your items. You could
also use peg board, but the holes are spaced 1" apart which doesn't give you a
good hole-to-stud ratio.
As mentioned in another post, train track pieces have holes for nails/tacks.
The large flat baseplates are the hardest to fix without modification. What
could be done, is to drill a hole for a 1x1 round plate and place the
baseplates on either side of it. This will leave a space between the
baseplates, but the plates can be locked into place with a 2x3 plate.
Just a couple of ideas.
