Hi ,
I hope this finds you safe and healthy. Thank you for all your kind and supportive notes from last week's Gazette, I do appreciate it. I know it's my job to entertain and delight but there are some things that tug at the heart way too much to stay quiet about. It was great to get your kind notes and letters.
Today, my intentions got completely rained-out so dug in our archives and found some favorites from our past Father's Day miniature gardens. Which brings me to a...
Head's up! Father's Day AND the Solstice is NEXT weekend! Yowsa! What kind of miniature garden are you going to make? For Dad or for the Solstice? Both? More ideas below. And just note for all new subscribers, if you need your order by next weekend, let us know and we'll expedite it for you - no charge.
Onward tally-ho! There is miniature gardening to do! :o)
Stay safe, stay healthy, get outside and stay grounded with Ma Nature and a lil' miniature gardening!
Whatever you do make it fun,
ABOVE: From the archives. That tree is a variegated Cotoneaster tree with Red Thyme in the front garden bed. The father-figure and the dog are discontinued, (the awesome manufacturer retired.) We're getting that metal picket fence next week.
PS - TYTYTY for the coffees! Another shoutout to Sallie from PA (we're still working on her 5 cuppas! :o) Thank you for the
birthday coffees from Monika in Switzerland (TY for the 4 coffees! Love it!) Irene from PA, Elizabeth from DE and Jennifer from CA.
From last week - thank you for your support to Beverly from CA, Judy from CA, Robin from MD, Janette from WA and Kimberly, a fellow Canadian from BC. Thank you all, Steve and I appreciate it! This makes our hard work that much easier to do. <3 Happy Miniature Gardening! :o)
Counter-clockwise from the left side: Dwarf Mondo Grass, Green Carper, Hens & Chicks, Green Carpet, Dwarf Mondo Grass and those "ferns" behind the planter with Sedum cuttings are brass buttons. Find the teenie-tiny accessories by
searching for HO Scale or N Scale accessories, they are from the railroad hobby.
The round deck and wood trellis is from our online store. The Weber BBQ, that garden chair and that barrel planter are discontinued. (This is why I keep telling you: when you see an awesome miniature, buy it! You never know when they'll stop making it.)

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)
We appreciate and serve everyone regardless of race, color, gender, politics or religion.
