Throwing a Lil' Cheer in
the Miniature Garden!

Hi ,
I hope this finds you safe and healthy. It's hard to know what to say against the backdrop of all the news this week, but it IS my job to delight and entertain you, together with my birthday tomorrow, May 30th, (best put that on your calendar, eh? Lol!) PLUS I needed to continue my monthly themed miniature garden so - enough with the reasons! - I threw a lil' party on the patio for us. :o)
AND since it's my birthday display, I tapped my own collection of garden miniatures for this scene so while I don't have the exact miniatures that you see in this scene up in my store, I do have a fine selection for you. The flowers in the tree are real miniature roses and some lace to pretty-up the scene. Some miniatures were gifts, others were found at my local dollhouse miniature show.
And a Reminder Water-Test Memo: The BEST way to tell if your plant needs water is to "stick your finger in it!" Put your finger down into the soil at least 1" deep. If it's still moist or very damp, wait and check again in day or three. If it's dry, water. Your watering needs are going to change in the summer months as well - the pots will dry out faster and more often so stay on top of it. It only
takes a second to check and a couple minutes to water. (Speaking from my own experience!)
Stay safe, stay healthy, get outside and stay grounded with Ma Nature and a lil' miniature gardening!
Whatever you do make it fun,
ABOVE: A Little Birthday Day in the Miniature Garden! That is a Lemon Cypress (aka Monteray Cypress,) with Dwarf London Pride Saxifrage (rosettes,) Blue Star Creeper (larger leaves,) and Baby Tears. The Baby Tears is the least hardy, so that makes this garden hardy to Zone 7.
PS - Thank 'yous' all around to Robin from MD, Sallie from PA (bought us 5 cuppas! :o) and Cindie from CA who “bought us a
coffees” this week to thank us for all our free Infotainment that we provide throughout all our websites and social channels. Thank you all, Steve and I appreciate it! This makes our hard work that much easier to do. <3 Happy Miniature Gardening! :o)
PS2 - I know you're curious. Sometimes I feel like I'm 36 but I'll 54 years young tomorrow.

PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITES:
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.
MORE ABOUT OUR SHIPPING: There is some confusion when checking out of our online
store and seeing the shipping option of "Priority Mail." Priority Mail is the
term the United States Post System calls their services. Anything over 1 pound gets shipped by Priority Mail. They have done-away with Parcel Post. ~> It does not mean you get "priority" over anyone else's order. It's just what they call it. We are not able to send any order over a pound any other way. We choose to stay with USPS because they are least expensive, 98% reliable and they usually get your orders to you within 3 days at most. We've priced other services and USPS is our
choice to save you money, ship your plants to you safely and quickly. :o)
