EVERYTHING is Cute in Miniature!

Happy Weekend, !

It's been a busy week here at Miniature Garden Headquarters! I've been working on a fun project for NEXT spring that I'm excited about already. Leave it up to me to start pining for spring when it's not even fall-weather yet. Lol! 

BUT I did have some time to make a fun mini DIY VOTE banner for the upcoming election season. Everything is cute in miniature! More below!

We hope all are safe and sound after Hurricane / Tropical Storm Helene diminishes. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. 

Today's Tip: 

Indoors vs Outdoor Plants - A gentle reminder that not all plants can be grown indoors. As the summer wanes and we're looking to bring the outdoors inside for the winter, make sure your plants want to come inside too. Aside from asking it nicely, 😁 you can quickly google the plant's name and USDA zone to see if it'll work. Here are the basic rules:

• Most plants that are rated zone 8 and up can be grown indoors. 
• Plants from zones 5 through 7 will need winter's cooling-off period.
• Any plants from zones 4 and down will need time in the freezing temperatures.

Today's garden has our favorite indoor/outdoor tree, the Variegated English Boxwood. You may recognize this miniature garden, it was planted in 2017. More below.

A gentle reminder as we get into crux of this election season - we have more in common with each other than we think if we just listen.

This miniature garden was originally made as a sample for a class I was doing in downtown Seattle in June of 2017, shown above. 

In today's garden, the poles are from the July 4th project in my second book, the Prop Shop book. The new printable Miniature DIY VOTE banner has 3 different styles of flags, in two different sizes (for only 99 cents!) 

Tree - You can see how the Boxwood doesn't really mind living in a pot for years. See another photo of it, from 2018, up in the store here.

Bedding plants - I did need to swap-out the Baby Tears for the Saxifrage on the right, (currently sold out, hit reply to get on the waitlist.) The Dwarf Mondo Grass on the left, I've finally found its limit - and this one will need dividing before it gives up completely. It does need thinning every few years or whenever you see it running out of space. I've also found that this plant does not like to be overrun or buried by other ground covers but otherwise it's one tough, well-behaved, miniature garden plant.

Mini Patio - is the original patio that I custom-fit into the pot with our Mini Patio Mix Kit and one of our Flagstone Sheets. It's bit weathered around the edges but it still looks great after 7 years!
