Here is a miniature garden I created in a small enamel pan.
I have made several of these and they always turn out charming. This one has a tiny patio I created out of cement powder and little stones.
It looks difficult, but it is amazingly easy. I found a kit from Two Green Thumbs Miniature Garden Center. They have everything you need to make patios, walkways...any kind of hard surface.
Here are some photos from the website:
Aren't they fun?
I love miniature gardens because you really feel as if you can just step right into the garden. That is one of the reasons I created a G-Scale train garden in the middle of my herb garden. Kids and adults get such a kick out of tiny landscapes!
You can find more information about creating miniature gardens at Two Green Thumbs. They even have a newsletter.
Very cute. I love miniatures!

Oh, I want one of those! Definitely on my must have list. Thanks for posting the link to Two Green Thumbs. Do you have pics of your G-scale train garden?

Thanks Paige and Topiary Lady for stopping by.
I have a few pictures of the train garden on the link called "NEW VISITOR?' Check the right hand side of my blog at the top. The link is under "Theresa Loe more info..."
I need to take more photos this spring and post them.

Fantastic ideas for those who do not have a garden or only have a small outside area. Really really cute and you can still use techniques and practices as you would with a conventional garden.

These are truly wonderful types of plants and they also look very cute. I can now see what type of garden I want.
