Been working on this for about 2 yrs. It stays outside.
A mini garden.
Cute! I love the tiny succulent plants. They don't grow here- well, not outside!
TY! It's been a blast to make the home-made stuff for it, like the tiny bricks & mushrooms.
When I put this together originally, I had seriously wrong fantasies that it would come inside for winter. It had a lot more plants in it. These are the survivors of 2 winters so far, so I couldn't be happier about that part. They're stunted from the strange conditions, but that's also just fine. It sure could use some taller entities though, like yours has, "trees."
I was trying to find more info about the Pinus mugo 'Short Needle' (dwarf Mugo Pine in my garden) and I found this website... it looks like they have a lot of trees! My mugo has hardly grown at all in 3 years, which is a good thing. The nursery where I bought my trees said they have to be pruned like bonsai- top AND roots. I've never tried bonsai... if mine get too big I'll move them back behind the fairy garden and buy new ones ;-)

I wish I had more time to make things... most of mine is store-bought. When I couldn't find any walls I liked, I made some forms out of cardboard covered with duct tape and made the wall sections using cement and pea gravel with a couple of aluminum wire pieces embedded for anchoring them into the soil.
