Oh Those Lazy, Hazy Days... Hi , I hope this finds you enjoying these last dog days of summer! They've already predicted a long cold winter here in the PNW so Steve and I are trying to bask in as much of summer as we can. We've stuck close to home this season, enjoying our gardens large and small. It's hard to leave when you've made your own little slice of heaven in your front yard. Lol! Plants can really change things, I'll
have to get some photos for you! May Peace Prevail So, we've relaunched our Ukraine Peace Flag campaign this week in an attempt to do
something to help celebrate their Independence Day by helping them to remain independent. We've raised over $200 so far through our subscribers alone - see how that happened here, thanks to Martine, a fellow MG on the opposite corner of the country. Our theory is if everyone does a little something, it can add up to a LOT. Spreading Mini Garden Fun We've got a free gift for you this week! Spend $25 (does not include shipping) and get a free "Pretty Pot and Sedum Kit" with your order! Enter the code MY-FREE-MINI when checking out and it'll be added to your order. This link should do it automatically. If you miss it, just hit reply and tell us! Stay safe, stay cool,
enjoy the summer while you can and, don't just sit there, make a miniature garden! :o) Whatever you do, make it fun! Janit Calvo, Head MG, Owner
Two Green Thumbs Living Miniature Garden Center ~~~ YOU might recognize this garden if you've been following me for awhile. It's at least 12 years old now. The tree on the left, growing out of the shot, is a leggy Cumulus Cypress. The skinny broadleaf in the middle that's behind the cypress is the Sky Pencil Holly. The
tree right with that great trunk is the Fernspray Hinoki Cypress that I've gradually shaped into a tree form. The Hinoki in the front, left corner is a Gemstone Hinoki Cypress, another tree that I've been training into a tree-form. Up on the Mini Garden Guru Blog This Week! Click in for more... The shrub behind the Mini Bistro Patio Set is a dwarf Azalea. If you ever see one of these for sale, grab it. They are really rare, very easy to grow (if you're in an area where they thrive, that is,) and they are really low maintenance once they get
established. The flower isn't miniature on this one, but I have seen some with really tiny flowers that are just darling. ~~~ Your free gift ~> the "Pretty Pot with Sedums" is included with your order of $25 or more. (Does not include shipping.) A $7.99 value. Enter MY-FREE-MINI in the discount code box when checking out of the online
store. ~~~ Links to some of the Plants, Parts & Pieces of Today's Garden: 100% of the proceeds go the Ukraine relief effort through the ICRC. So cute. So darling. So miniature! Something to play with throughout the seasons... Staked on a rod to stay put... A tough little fern for the miniature garden. Train into a tree form. Turns gold in the sun.

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!
