Hi ,

I hope this finds you with plans for miniature gardening this weekend! If you can't get outside in the garden, remember that you can plant a container anytime. And, if you're unable to get a container mini garden together, remember that you can always play, polish, perk-up your garden miniatures while you wait to that silly Spring to arrive.

Hello Chicago! There are still spaces available at the Chicago Botanical Garden on Sunday, April 29th! I'm doing a demonstration and a workshop follows, so you can come and learn, and stay and create! I'll be at The Miniature Show the Thursday thru Saturday before that too.

It's all about the plants: This week we have MORE miniature garden plants coming in - see? it IS spring, I tell ya! We have a beautiful selection of ground covers this week. They look just lovely as our weather has been way too cool and rainy - but the plants certainly do not mind! And, as usual, we have our lovely miniature and dwarf trees and shrubs BUT we have some really different ones coming in that we are really excited about too.

ICYMI - FOR OUR CUSTOMERS USING OUR NEW STORE! Hey, it's a brand new shopping platform and I couldn't transfer over your information from the old store to the new store so you will have input your email info, shipping and billing information into this shopping cart again.

Whatever you do, make it fun,

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

Waiting for Spring??

If you are in an area that isn't close to spring, meaning your soil is still frozen and/or covered in snow, we can hold your trees until you are ready for them. As long as the ground isn't frozen or really wet, you can still plant. Our trees are kept outside here in Seattle where it has been cooler than normal temperatures and they will be fine as long as they are left outdoors.

If you are still frozen, purchase reserves your trees to ship later. Leave a note when checking out, email us or call us with your shipping date. We'll make sure that we connect before we send them. We will combine your orders too!

Purchase reserves your trees,
you tell us when to ship!

We'll combine your orders too.

NEW STORE Shipping Notice: 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. And Steve can pack better than any online shipping calculator can - if we can save you money on shipping, we will.
