Hi ,
I hope your spring smells as wonderful as my spring! The apple-blossom trees are now in full bloom and fragrance is wonderful. It's been dry here in Seattle so we've finally had a chance to do some gardening outside and in the garden beds. I hope your spring is going well too!
So, were in the amp-up to Miniature Garden Month and Mother's Day. I'm trying to have something special happening every week so we shall see how I do! Let me know if you have any fun ideas - hit reply. Otherwise, watch this space!
ICYMI - Mother's Day is the 8th! Which really means NEXT weekend! I am not sure how that happened-upon-us so quickly, but I do know what your mom would love: A miniature garden made BY you - OR - to make a miniature garden WITH you! It'll give you a reason to play in the soil and create memorable moments with Mom...
Here's more information to know what KIND of miniature garden gift to give your Mother - or anyone else for that matter. I've made an easy flowchart to make it even easier to give the gift of miniature gardening.
**FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY: Sending your Mom anything from our online Two Green Thumbs' store? Let us know! We'll make sure it's shipped by Mother's Day for you. Leave a comment in the comment box when checking out of the store, or send us an email and we'll make it happen!**
Whatever you do, make it fun, and then make a miniature garden for your mom,

What's New and Back in Stock??
Yellow Ice Plant
Ice-Ice-Baby! The strong, succulent-type with great texture + flowers!
An ad from 2016 that I can finally use this year - it's got the same date! That awesome patio set was discontinued promptly AFTER I found it. A good reminder that if you like any miniature - buy it! You NEVER know when something
will be discontinued!

Top Point White Cedar in the middle. Green Carpet Juniper on the left of the tree and I think that is White Thyme on the right. This was made as an advertisement for a workshop at a local garden center in 2017. The birdhouse was
a custom product from a woman that used to make them for us. The Cherub Birdbath is now available in tan color - check out all our Cherub miniatures here. The patio is made from our Sea Green Patio Sheet and our
Mini Patio Mix Kit that doesn't wash away in the rain, nor when you water your mini
garden!

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.
~~~
We appreciate and serve everyone regardless of race, color,
gender, politics, religion or who they love.
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.
