Welcome NEW Subscribers / Fellow Miniature Gardeners!  
​

Here is August's Mini Garden Gazette that was released at the beginning of the month. This will get you caught up.
 

Then we will only email you once a month, thereafter. 


​​Thank you again for joining us and Happy Miniature Gardening! - Janit​​

Hello !


We hope this finds you enjoying the summer. There has been some really challenging weather across North America this season and we hope you and yours are safe and well.

This month is full of tiny tidbits of fun. We found a fun how-to for you, we have free giveaways and also a way for you to get a discount off your next order.

We are excited to be able to add to our new line of lights with a set of colored mini lights – yeah, I know, it’s the little things eh?

 
 Thank you for being a subscriber! 
 
Whatever you do, make it fun,

ABOUT THE ABOVE PHOTO: Our longest living and smallest miniature garden finally needed repotting. It was a grueling, back-breaking chore that took about 10 minutes. Lol! See more here.

 We're a little different, just like you!

We stake most of our miniature accessories right here at our studios so they stay upright in hte garden soil without any muss or fuss.

This added step in preparing our accessories for sale, our passion and devotion for anything miniature garden, plus our relentless attention to detail in our shipping methods, stands us apart from any other company online. 

"The order was received today in perfect condition. Thank you, Drue"


"Impressive shipping service, Two Green Thumbs... the plants were in tiptop shape.

Miniature gardening
is on the move! 

Spotted in a parking lot in south Seattle. Please don't meditate and drive. Lol!

The pine sprig is artificial. Any living plant would cook on a dashboard in the hot months. But it sure is cute!

Foolin' around on Instagram. Steps average 2" square. The enchantment is in the realism. Find us at @theminigardener!

Meet a Fellow MG

Lesley Shepherd heads up the About Miniature website and, well, be prepared to go down a rabbit hole of everything miniature! 

We found this easy How to Make a Wire Garden Fence on her blog. I think it requires a bit of patience but it will look super-cute in the garden when it's done. Make sure to leave the hoops at the ends, and one in the middle a couple of inches longer than the rest so you can stake it in the soil.

There is only one beginning and you can be part of it. For more information on membership perks including a standing, 20% discount for our main online store, and our Etsy store, for use at anytime during your membership, click here.

Can I get a witness??

This Miniature Hedgehog Spruce is supposed to grow 1" year. One branch didn't get the memo! Just trim it off if this happens to one of your trees. Plants are like us and sometimes they grow in unusual ways. ;o)

Oh yes, we did. 

We couldn't resist. Gardening in Miniature, in miniature.

Can you tell we are nutty about anything miniaturized? Lol! 

Image
You asked for it! We got it together! 

A Miniature Garden Supply Kit!
See it here, up in the store.

The German Version!
In stock! 

My Mom ordered a couple of books from Amazon.de and ended up with multiple orders. Something was obviously lost in translation. Lol! 

This would make a perfect gift for your German gardener friend!

Pre Bonsai
Slowmound Pine

Pines shine in the summertime!

Get a jump-start to your miniature garden with this pre-bonsai mugo pine. 

Mugo pines do well in containers, are drought tolerant and have a great structure to their trunk and branches - which is why bonsai artists love to use them. 

Great in-ground too. They are drought tolerant once they are established. Great for full sun or part sun with sharp draining soil.

Pretty Campania Pots

New in stock this month. We drill them too! See them here.

Image
Simple yet fun terrariums! Get some green into your kid's room, the dorm-room or the office with these easy to care for air plant terrariums. Each one is one-of-a-kind. See more of them here, throughout our Etsy store. 

We have fairy terrariums, dinosaurs and Zen terrariums too!
