HEY ! Here is Your Mini Garden Gazette!

Published: Sat, 08/03/19

Hello August!

**Photos may take a moment to load**

Hi ,

I hope you are enjoying your summer weekend just as much as we are. It's a bit hot here in Seattle but I'm doing my best to soak it all in as much as I can and appreciate the heat instead of complain about. I need to remember this day in January when I'm grumbling about the cold and rain. Lol!

~~~~~~~~

So this happened. EXCITING NEWS! - I've opened up The Miniature Garden Society for new members!

ICYMI - The Miniature Garden Society was created just for miniature gardeners by a miniature gardener to:

Share all our information and experience in creating this hobby since 2001.
Connect with like-minded people that understand our obsession.
It's a buyer's club too - you get 15% off any order through our online store anytime!
Dive deeper into all the nuances and tangents that the hobby generates: fairy gardening, bonsai, plant directories, maintenance, wood working, customizing, the business of... to name a few.
It includes all the ebooks that Janit as an extra added bonus!

BUT WAIT! there is a LOT more too!
Click over to the website to find out what it's all about!

Oh, and you'll enjoy the new format of the website too with everything under one main menu that you can navigate easily. This exclusive website is almost 100 pages big now!

To learn more about this to see if it is a good fit for you,
please visit the website here: MiniatureGardenSociety.org

~~~~~~~~

Note that this Mini Garden Gazette weekly newsletter is still FREE for you to enjoy each week - but if you want more protein instead of just carbs and love this newsletter, the Society is where you'll want to be! :o) (Can you tell I've been on a diet? Lol!)

Whatever you do, make it fun,

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

PS - Check out the blog linked below - you'll find a BUNCH of miniature gardens and fairy gardens from ALL over the world! Grab a cuppa - you'll need it! :o)

One of my miniature test gardens - This is one of my experimental miniature garden beds where I test new ways to grow, and try out new plants to see if I like them first before offering them in the online store.

About new ways to grow: I've been testing different ways to transplant overgrown beds so you can use your plants in different ways to not only save money, but achieve that "grown-in" and established look quickly and easily.

About the testing: I've missed this step a few times and ended up with plants that are too fussy to grow easily, or the plants or trees grow way too fast and get out of scale too quickly.

This is just one of the things I've been working on for the Miniature Garden Society. We've got a private Facebook group where I can do live videos to show you all kinds of ideas! (The videos are then transferred to the main website so the member's can access them quickly and easily so you don't have to be on Facebook to enjoy them.)

New & Back in Stock
from Your Favorite

Nana Dwarf Hinoki - A handsome girl! The hinokis in stock are a bit bigger than what is shown. There's a cool trunk in there too - just wait until the canopy starts to grow up and out and you'll enjoy a true miniature tree for years and years.

Elephant Planter - Faux terra cotta doesn't freeze or break easily! I love the details. Face him east for luck. These won't be in stock forever - the manufacturer has retired... Perfect for Victorian or eclectic-style gardens!

Fun with Miniature Display Boxes - If the weather has pushed you inside for awhile, check out this idea for inspiration to capture your miniature-making for gifts for the upcoming holidays. We have a few different sizes too!

Platt's Black Brass Buttons - Tough, colorful and drought tolerant when established. If you want to cover some ground this will do it. Prune it judiciously in spring when it starts to run. Turns greener in par shade.

Miniature Adirondack Bench - Shown in the photos. I've left it out over a couple of winters to let it age naturally.

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.

If you do not want this newsletter, we'll be sad to see you go, you will miss out on a lot of upcoming fun with this new hobby, and you'll have a hard time finding a better hobby, but please unsubscribe using the link below.
