Happy National Miniature Garden Month!
Hi ,
I hope this finds you enjoying the spring in your area! Here in Seattle, I'm still wearing fleece socks and a hoodie as I write this - BUT, as your eternal optimist and fellow Miniature Gardener - I am finding the good in a cold, wet spring.
- I've got time to plant ALL my plants without killing them.
- I've got time to move any of my plants without killing them.
- And I've got time to relax a bit here and there because "the heat is off" literately!
Lol! Leave it to me to find the silver lining eh? ;o) It was always a challenge every Spring to get my own gardening done while holding-down a garden business in the busiest season. Something always had to give, and it was always my own garden. Now, with this cooler weather, I've got time to plant more Thyme!! (Sorry, had to do that.)
As promised, you'll find the plant details from last week's Mother's Day garden below! Let me know your questions or feedback, hit reply.
Whatever you do, make it fun, stay safe and make a miniature garden for National Miniature Garden Month!

To the left of the beach sign, just behind it is an Cranesbill (Erodium,) just in front of that is an Ice Plant (Delosperma.) When they flower, I'll know what kind they are.
The red and green rosettes to the left of the bunny are dwarf Hens & Chicks (Sempervivum,) Blue Star Creeper to the right with more Hens and Chicks and Dwarf Mondo Grass towards the back, in front of the cat.
Behind the Unicorn on Pedestal is a Dwarf Iris and, lastly, that wonderful miniature, yellow-leafed plant dead-center - I'm drawing a blank - I looked-up what I thought it was called and I had it wrong. Arg.

Okay, they're not really zinnias but they look like it!
Pretty style, made of metal, completely weatherproof!
An awesome ground cover that really smells like mint!
Around the edge of the garden, clockwise from the bottom, left: Thymeleaf Cotoneaster on Standard, Jean Iseli Hinoki Cypress, Helmond's Pillar Barberry, Goldener Zwerg Dwarf English Yew, Bullata Spirea, Blue Gem Podocarpus, and an Alpine Spirea in the front, right corner.
*Not all plants are available at all times - buy it when you see it 'cause you never know when it'll become available again. I'm not saying this just to get a sale, the true miniature and dwarf trees and shrubs take time and dedication to grow.

ABOUT OUR SHIPPING:
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 Truth, Freedom, Oneness, Kindness & Love!
