Hi ,
We hope this finds you well and safe wherever you are!
Well we are looking for love in all the right places this time of year! Are you getting ready for Valentine's Day? We are. It's the perfect theme to make a "little" miniature gardening or three to surprise your friends, co-workers and family with a little love...
Shown above is the "Wedding Garden" from our Gardening in Miniature Prop Shop book - celebrating a "little" love by sharing it in a miniature garden. Altogether now, "Aaawwww....!!"
Ch-ch-ch-changes:
- The Mini Garden Guru Blog is still offline for a major overhaul and "should" be back up in another few days. There's over 400 blog posts dating back to 2006 needing sorting! Whew! I need a clone... :o)
- Email: If you've been emailing and haven't heard back, please try again. I had to switch my email program and I'm finding some emails are not getting through. This should be fixed. And yes, I would rather be miniature gardening!! :o)
Stay safe. And whatever you do, please make it fun and safe for everyone,
Janit Calvo, Head MG, Owner
Two Green Thumbs Living Miniature Garden Center

ICYMI: Winter Weather Worries:
Winter is working its way everywhere this year, it seems. Seeing all that snow piling up on the east coast is pret-ty amazing, to put it politely. But have no fear if you've bought your plant from us here at Two Green Thumbs Miniature Garden Center as most of our plants are hardy to -20F - or Zone 5 - and will come through just fine. They really are hardier than we
are!
But if you are looking at your frozen plants and thinking that they are "toast" - my advice is to just wait. If you've chosen plants that are hardy to your area, your plants will be fine. Even if the plant thaws-out and looks a bit sad, or if it's a tender plant, just wait to see what it does before you show it the compost bin. If given a choice, plants would rather live so they'll try to
survive anything that's happens and you might be surprised to see it come back to life when the weather warms up.

Tiny Gardens Everywhere - A lil' miniature garden can brighten someone's day! With a couple of sedum cuttings, a bit of patio held in place with our Mini Patio
Mix plus a wee accessory to bring home the scale - makes a very fun gift!
Find the pots, cuttings, a sample kit of the MIni Patio mix if you only need a little bit, and a tiny accessory or two up in the store

PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITES:
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.
