Hi ! Happy Spring - I think. :o) Maybe April is about to fool us... Well, regardless of the weather, we're still planning on spring to happen here at your miniature garden HQ! I've plowed through my technology hurdle and our info-only MiniatureGarden.com website is back up and open for your eyes only. It's not quite done yet - I want to add some more fun - but I'm happy with the results this far. Let me know what you think. The miniature gardens in today's Gazette are from 2004 & 2005,
when I used to sell the completed gardens at street markets in the greater Seattle area way back when. Doing these types of markets for the first 10 to 12 years helped to spread the idea, build a customer base and an email list. I was able to influence a visitor from South Africa who sent me a photo of her miniature garden she made after she got home! How fun is that? New, this week: Find new plants in stock today - fresh from the growers. Remember you can shop by zone or by light in our Two Green Thumbs Miniature Garden Center
store. If you have any questions about anything, hit reply! Find new, true miniature perennials in stock this week as well. We've got two different Iris, one yellow, one purple, and our
favorite Crimson Red Star which is a real trooper for the miniature garden. Find them here. AND I've got something for the fairy gardeners today! We're testing out some fairy garden plants this week that are perfect for your fairy gardens in a pot or in-ground. These plants
are faster growing, and we love them for the flowers. See them here, the top four on the page. Making the world a "little" better every day, **All links open to our own websites or channels.** From the Archives, 2005. Starting
from the top, left: Wooley Thyme, Fairy Vine, Pixie Dwarf Spruce, Sedum Ogon, Sedum Buttons and Variegated Aubrieta. A couple of featured products shown in today's miniature garden, PLUS a link to what's New and Back in Stock this month!

ICYMI :: On the YouTube Channel! Please give me a 'Like' and subscribe! This miniature garden was a custom order that apparently is still thriving on the Oregon coast. I think the shrub on the left is a Shimpaku Juniper with Sedum Buttons in front, behind it is a variegated Hinoki
Cypress. Across the path, I think is a baby Teddy arborvitae with Dwarf Lily Turf in front of it. (Hi Dolly!) Not Ready for Spring Yet? Purchase reserves the trees! YOU tell us when you would like us to send them! We'll combine any plant orders to save you postage if you have multiple orders throughout the season. (We won't know the savings until after we ship.) See all our recommended plants here, you can shop by zone or by what kind of light you have. Got a question? Hit reply! Hannie's Miniature Garden. Hannie sent this lovely photo to me after seeing my work at the Fremont Sunday Market here in Seattle - all the way from South Africa. I was so floored that I had influenced someone
on the other side of the planet! Happy Miniature Gardening !

you, this took about 17 attempts to get her to sit like that. :o)
We have been serving the Miniature Garden Hobby since 2001. Shipping all year 'round from USDA Zone 7, Seattle, Washington,
in the Northwest corner of the USA. CONTACT US ~ OTHER WAYS TO ORDER FROM OUR STORE: ~> Via Email - hit reply, (please don't email any credit card
info!) -> Via Phone - 206-352-0494 ~ We are in Seattle, 3 hours behind east coast time.
We no longer have regular office hours, please leave a
message. PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITES: 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! ~~~ REMINDER: This email is not spam.
