Happy Anniversary Month!

Hi !

November is upon us! It's our Anniversary Month!

20 years ago, I got a crazy idea to test selling miniature gardens at the local Fremont Sunday Market here in Seattle. Who would have thought that it would become 'a thing?' It's been a bumpy ride but - hey - congratulations, we made it!

Thanks again for participating in the survey everyone! You've inspired me to start blogging again, I'll let you know why I stopped - in the next blog! :o)

It's one of those weeks here in Seattle where it rains, then it's gonna rain and then after that, it'll rain. We're already growing gills and will be searching for fish food soon...

Grab a cuppa - there were a few requests for more miniature garden ideas and examples so I have some links here from archives...

Whatever you do make it fun,

Janit Calvo, Head MG, Owner
Two Green Thumbs Living Miniature Garden Center

Above: The tree on the left is a leggy Cumulus Cypress. The skinny broadleaf in the middle is the Sky Pencil Holly and the tree with the chartreuse leaves is a leggy Fernspray Cypress that I've shaped into a tree form. (It's the same garden I used on October 7th.)

Emerald Green and White - are apparently the 20th Anniversary colors to use. How convenient! It just so happened we have a number of white items in our online store that went along perfectly with the greens of the plants...

You can find those tiny lights almost anywhere these days. Target, Walmart, Michaels or even your local drugstore chain may have them. I like the ones that plug into a USB charger or outlet because you don't have to fiddle around with batteries.

What's New? - Fun New Cushions that can get wet! Handmade right here in the US of A! There are tiny stitches along one side that make this wee cushion able to stand up to getting wet in the living miniature garden. (Normally, the glue that is used doesn't hold-up when it gets wet.) Find the Adirondack chair up on the furniture department!)

ABOUT OUR SHIPPING:

We ship internationally (- but not the plants!)

All shipping costs are checked by Steve and we refund any savings promptly because of our wide range of unique inventory: we ship tiny miniatures, heavy patio materials and living plants, sometimes the automatic shipping calculator "packs" the order in multiple boxes which costs more. Steve can pack better than any online shipping calculator can - if we can save you money on shipping, we will.

~~~

We appreciate and serve everyone regardless of race, color,
gender, politics, religion or who they love.
Viva la difference!
If we were all the same, the world would be a
very, very boring place to live.
We believe in Oneness, Kindness & Love.
