Hi ,
I hope this finds you and yours safe and well!
Hey, have you heard of this before? Studies have shown that by decorating early for the holidays, it makes you happier! Well you don't have to tell me twice - I'm SO in! - are you with me? Normally, I would wait until after Thanksgiving to start with the holiday decorating but it's not a normal year... So let the decorating
begin!
And a word about ordering and shipping and shopping this season because it seems like the new-stream-hype is trying to stress us out with the holiday shopping this year and I don't care for it!! ~> We are "chill" here at Two Green Thumbs Miniature Garden Center and we are available to help you with whatever you need for your miniature gardening. Yes, there are postal deadlines - weeks from now
on December 19th - so if you gauge to order at least two weeks before that date, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Note that as a subscriber, let us know if you need your order
to leave faster than usual, we'll make it happen!
Just let us know after you place your order!
(Hit reply on your order confirmation email.)
I've been a busy girl this week - it was one of those weeks where "it all came together" which hasn't happened in a while so I jumped on it and made some "stuff" happen! Hear me roar! Lol!
SO there is a new F.A.Q. page up in the online store that will make you more comfortable with what we do here at TGT. See it here. It's a work in progress so let me know what you think. It answers all the questions that you didn't even know to ask... yet. :o)
AND, I've collected all the Christmas and Hannukah decor in one section. Okay, it's really all the red, green, white and blue accessories but I'm finding it really helpful to see them all in one place. Note that I have several different kinds of Christmas / Holiday trees - some are hardy to -30F! I have more holiday ideas and gifty ideas coming up, so stay tuned!
Please stay safe, stay grounded & stay creative with a lil' miniature gardening - and please wear a mask to protect yourself. I don't want anything to happen to you!
Whatever you do make it fun,
ABOVE: That is a Lemon Cypress (aka Monteray or Wilma 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 - A HUGE miniature garden thank you to Paula in Florida who bought us coffees this past week to thank us for all our hard work delivering free inspiration and free info-tainment on gardening in miniature for the last 19 years. Thank you for all your support throughout the years Paula!

I painted the Pedestal
Birdbath with red stripes for my "Red & White Miniature Garden." Let me know if you are interested in those wee mushrooms - you know I don't do fairy accessories too often but I have a few sets here. We stake them to stay put.
Note the white rocks in the background that help to frame the accessories and tie the whole idea together. Sedum cuttings are in the wee ivory
pot which should last until spring or beyond.

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 and ship your plants to you safely and quickly. :o)
We appreciate and serve everyone regardless of race, color, gender, politics or religion. Viva la difference! If we were all the same, the world would be a very, very boring place to live.
We believe in Oneness, Kindness & Love.
