Love is in the Air!

Hi !

I hope it's all kinds of LOVE coming at you this month from all directions! Remember to stop and "fill up your cup" if the worlds seems a bit daunting right now. There is a lot of good at play here too - from your relentlessly eternal optimist. 😀

And, the one way to keep your cup filled is to schedule - yes "schedule" your own me-time. It's usually the first thing that is negotiated-away in this busy life, but this is your gentle reminder to keep that date with yourself because you need it too. I guarantee it will help you tolerate the rest of the stuff that's going on... tell them Janit told you to do it if you need to. ✌️

Got Another Question for You:

Do you feel that my online store needs updating? Do you still like it? Hit reply and let me know.

In this, ahem, "wonderful" word of online stores and such, I'm often worried that I'm not keeping my website updated with the latest designs. So, before I go and spend hours days on changing the design of it, I thought to ask the people who actually use my online store - YOU!

You see, I can either work on teaching the hobby, making videos and developing my new basic FREE course, (it's coming!) or redo another website. Ugh. But, since I'm working for you, I thought to ask you! 

So, what do you think? What would you do? 

Hit reply and let me know either way, (I'm a  big girl and I can take it. :o)

It's about that time! We seldom get the Boyd's Dwarf Willow to produce the pussy willows here in Seattle very often, BUT, my un-educated guess is: it's been cold enough here in Seattle - for a long enough time now - that the tiny trees might just push-out a pussy willow or three in a couple/few weeks. Get one now so you can enjoy them. Too cute!! See more photos and info on the Boyd's Willow here. It's a fun miniature tree to grow and it's the perfect scale for a miniature garden. (Zones 4 thru 7, an outdoor tree.)
 

Our Cover Girl - this is the same tree that is on the cover of my first book, Gardening in Miniature: Create Your Own Tiny Living World, the Elf Dwarf Spruce or Picea glauca 'Elf'.

Clockwise from the far right, Pratia, Alpine Ferns, Hens and Chicks, Brass Buttons in front of the birdbath and behind it is the Dwarf Crisped Fern. (This front bed was over-planted for a display. By planting bigger divisions of fewer plants, there's a better chance they'll root and grow.)
 

See Me in Seattle!

It's happening at the big Northwest Flower and Garden Show and I'm doing a miniature garden demo on Friday, February 21st at 11:45am at the DIY Stage. (See more info about the show here: GardenShow.com)

I was going to do some giveaways and perks for my Gazette subscribers and/or my Two Green Thumbs' customers but the show won't let me give stuff out. (I know, right? 🙄 ) 

So, if you are a subscriber and you do come see me, make sure you introduce yourself before or after my gig. 😉
