It's Just Like Christmas!
**Photos may take a moment to load**

Hi ,

It's like Christmas here this week with all the new trees and plants coming from Oregon! It's lovely to see all the little babies, fresh from the nursery! ;o) Some of them are so tiny, they are hard to part with. I'm like a kid in a candy store, "One for you, two for me, one for you, two for... " Lol!

If you are in an area that is still frozen and want trees, see below for a solution! 

I almost forgot about the Seattle Dollhouse Miniature Show that is on this weekend! Apologies that I forgot to remind you, it crept up on me. I'll be there on Sunday shopping for miniatures! 

Keep thinking spring!


Whatever you do, make it fun,

Our Little Cover Girl is Back in Stock! 
 
 
The popular Miniature Elf Dwarf Spruce is back in stock this week and she is cuter than ever!
 
It's the tree that is on the cover of the world's most popular book on our beloved hobby: Gardening in Miniature: Create Your Own Tiny Living World. Available autographed, on Amazon, in German, or for Kindle. You can find it at Barnes and Noble and Chapters too. Get your copy today! 
 
The Elf Spruce tree shown on cover is about 12 years old when that photo was taken. The photo above that shows it today, about 15 years old, with a new 4" Elf Spruce - most of the 4" potted trees are 3 to 4 years old when we get them from the grower. This Elf Spruce grows about one inch per year. 
 
How did we grow our cover girl?
 
We planted it in the ground and left it there for a few years. Please don't tell the bonsai artists! 
 
Before and after: The Monteray Cypress gets bushier and more beautiful each year. I would estimate it would take the smaller, 10 inch tree to grow as tall as the big one in 6 or 7 years. In the meantime, you can enjoy it in your mini-miniature garden! [Great for a cool spot indoors with lots of bright, indirect light or grow in outdoors in a container or in the garden bed in zones 7 thru 11.] Great color, huh? See more up in the store here.

Thank you for being our subscriber!
We'll be hopping back to more Easter fun next week!
