Hi ,
Happy summer!
I used to get a little frustrated with the full-sized garden in the summertime. Come summer, everything was planted, fertilized and watered. There was nothing left to do but watch the garden grow but I still wanted to play with plants, stay outside and be in my garden. I could never figure out what would fill that void until I started miniature gardening. Now I can play with plants and
be in my garden anytime of year!
Remember that the best times to plant in-ground is fall through spring - but you can plant a container garden ANYTIME!
We have some fun things to share in this Gazette! Grab a cuppa and scroll on down. You'll find the last of the series of our
Sorticulture display gardens, an unusual exclusive - for you only - and new miniature plants are in stock this week.
Thank you for being our subscriber!
Whatever you do, make it
fun,

is cascading down on the left, Miniature Daisies in the middle of the bed. Planted last winter.

We have some thinning back to do! The ground cover New Zealand Brass Buttons sends out runners in the springtime. Simply pick them up and cut them right back when you see them. Above, one of the runners found its way around the wee patio. The New
Zealand variety is paler in color, the leaves are bigger and they lay flatter than the Platt's Black Brass Buttons. The tree is a Moonfrost Canada Hemlock. About 4 years old.
