Hi !
Happy Full Moon Friday!
How to stay sane until spring: play. Put on your fave podcast or book or music and just begin. Clear off spot on the table, get out your box of miniature garden goodies and start playing. Your life actually depends upon it!
So if you are looking for crafting inspiration to kickstart your spring season, look no further than the Gardening in Miniature Prop Shop by Yours Truly. 37 Projects especially designed for the miniature gardener that aren't just projects, they teach you techniques that can easily be applied to your miniature or fairy garden or full-sized crafting!
And you may have noticed that I've been playing around with the Mini Garden Gazette's format and I'm not sure when I took down the photo of me but - lo and behold! - Fellow Miniature Gardener< Diana in OH, wrote in this week and asked to see what I look like - it's below! The picture was taken at a big garden show north of the city about 3 years ago. (Thanks for the
nudge, Diana!)
Please stay safe, stay grounded & stay creative with a lil' miniature gardening.
Thank you for subscribing! Have a great weekend!
Whatever you do make it fun,

miniature garden:
Another Miniature Garden Milestone
It was 20 years ago today, that I got
the job at a local garden center where
I was inspired to do a little gardening in miniature.
Just after the successful job interview, when I was
wandering around Swanson's Nursery, the
Nisqually earthquake shook Seattle.
Later that year I launched
Two Green Thumbs' Garden Art
that turned into
Two Green Thumbs' Miniature Garden Center.
Needless to say, it was an
earth-shaking experience.

ICYMI - RESERVE YOUR SPRING TREES & SHRUBS
So, it's that time of year! While we always try to have a great selection of miniature garden trees and shrubs, not all the varieties are available at all times. To give all a fair chance at the spring trees and shrubs that we offer, we have a "purchase reserves the trees" program that we ONLY offer to our Mini Garden Gazette subscribers.
Which really means, if you are still frozen and see and miniature garden trees and/or shrubs that you like now, you can order them now and tell us when to send them.
This is ONLY for trees and shrubs - we can't save the ground covers or perennials for you unfortunately. *It's simply a matter of the timing: after 4 more months of the plant being in the nursery container during springtime, the biggest growth period of the year, the plant gets a bit stressed and we are just not able to provide you with a quality plant after
being held for the 3 or 4 months. Note that we always have a terrific spring selection of ground covers so not to worry!

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.
