Makin' Mini for Halloween...

Hi ,

Happy October! I hope this finds you enjoying the early fall weather too. We're still having end o'summer weather here in Seattle, after a record-breaking warm and dry September. The days are warm and nights are getting cooler - and we're still waiting for the fall rains to return. I'm convinced some of our plants are confused while I keep enjoying their flowers. Maybe they need to see a calendar. Lol!

ABOVE: Now that I've got my inground garden looking nice and pretty, we've been toying with recreating a Halloween scene with our miniature haunted house. This photograph above is from 2018 - I didn't realize it's been FOUR years since we set it up so maybe it's time... Here is the story behind it and more photos, up on the Mini Garden Guru blog.

More Halloween fun below with links to more. It's time to get crafty in the miniature garden! I have yet to meet someone, who normally not stop and look, laugh or smile at a Halloween-themed garden. Giggles are guaranteed!

Whatever you do, make it fun, then spread it around,

Miniature Zombie Gnomes: This is Wanna Treete in all her glory. She really is quite sweet once you get her talking... She's about 1" tall - just a little scary! See her here. (Supply is limited.) Two other manly styles are available: Stan Bymee and Pastor Prime. (Yes, as a matter of fact I do go out of my way to find good puns. :o)

Learn how to make your own miniature zombies with our Gardening in Miniature Prop Shop book in the Halloween chapter. The book as 36 other projects that teach a technique and/or skills in every step-by-step-how-to. Written for miniature gardeners by a miniature gardener. To see more about this book, including more photos, click here. It's on Amazon if you would like to see more reviews of it before purchasing.

Another photo from 2018, I was struggling to get this inground miniature garden going so I took advantage of the gap in growth and had fun with Halloween instead. That mat of ground covers is the New Zealand Brass Buttons. The tree on the left is an Andromeda, or Pieris japonica (grab one whenever you see one.) The skinny tree on the right is a Graham Blandy Boxwood.

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.
