How creative! Tazzy, I felty guilty as sin and tried to hurry through it and exit! LOL

scooterbug, love your mini garden. here's mine.

OMGoodness, that is so cute !

Thanks daylily970 but that link was not my mini-garden.

I just wanted to share such a cute idea.

Mini- gardens are a whole 'new' concept to me.

scooterbug, it's a cute idea and one i would like to try. i have several mini-gardens.

I thnink I should makes a list (oh no , another list ?)

List of itty bitty things to shape the next tim I'm messing with 'crete or 'tufa.

LOL ....... Start a business for mini-garden Accoutrements.... lol (kidding)

scooterbug, i don't do list, i have 5 small legal pads full, so i do books. the greenhouse where i get things for my mini gardens, sale tufa/crete with mini gardens from 40 and up. a business might be a good idea.

Interesting

here's another site you might be interested in.

this is fun ideas ?

$1,100 for a garden kit! Ouch! But so cool! Couldn't you just find the pieces at the craft shop!?!?! They had a class here a few weeks ago at my local Whole Foods. It was only $20 and was hosted by the Rabbit Shadow Farms here in Loveland. Didn't attend, but they had a nice display! I would put those little mini rice lights in mine, think they would be a nice touch!

Thanks for sharing these everyone,
J

These are wonderful teeny tiny gardens.---I have never seen anything like these before and thank you so much for posting Scooterbug....very neat. t.

Thats a lotta $$$ for little plastic toys .

not in this lifetime JMO

i steal grandkids stuff and make mine

i get mini stuff at the flea market.

This one is from a little nurserey in Santa Ana that holds classes on which plants to choose and sells the little props. Doesn't mean you can't use 'em to 'borrrow' ideas from. ;)

One more, see, little kids toys etc.

blooms, those are so cute! really like the second one, reminds me of cinderella.

just what I thought!

Now that I could go for . I'm sure the toys don't cost what that garden center wants .
Love the little cabin Blooms. Where would one look for toys like this?
It's been a long time since I looked for that type of toys .
Grands are all boys and are all young men now.

The Woodland Cottage from the Fairy's Garden site is only 295.00

That site is cute the way they tell a story with the merchandise descriptions http://64.224.217.223/index.html

scooter, it's just time to get creative with twigs or popsicle sticks I guess. Or with dowels that you get at hardware store and cut like logs? I have ideas I've never used.

i find this last fall on clearance at jo ann's fabrics, a rustic tin cabin (a tea light holder) i am going to put in my mini garden.

got this at the amish flea market last fall. a rustic tin gazebo, also a tea light holder.

Ohhh Maaannnn !

I'm in trouble now , I feel another addiction coming on. lol

SORRY!!!!! here's the other stuff i find at jo ann's last fall.

daylily, Tnx for bringing your little 'goodies' out to show to us.

your welcome!! i will be adding them to my mini garden. i have an idea on how to do a new mini garden for my deck. i will taking the other things from my old mini garden and using them with the new ones.

Now that's jes' darlin' /;-)

Those li'l mini-gardens remind me of the "diaramas" that I use to make as a child for some of my school projects! Alright, they probably were not that sophisticated or detailed in nature, but it was along those lines. It was creating a woodland scene in a shoebox! So now, I'll just "kick it up a notch" and move my diarama into my back yard, deck, patio, or anywhere the l'il people will come and spread their magic and fairy dust! :~)

These gardens are so cute I cant stand it! I have to make one!

Me too! Thanks for all the great ideas!

I went to the links that I could get to, and wow! that one with the rabbit at liquidskyarts.com - wow!

One idea for cool and cheap accessories is woven willow arbors, fences, furniture, etc.

Found a site for miniplants: www.miniplant kingdom.com in Sebastacol CA. I know there is someone here at DG from that city - maybe we could get her to check it out...

Thanks caitlin,
.................I like the site you posted but the link didn't work so I got it for ya.

http://www.miniplantkingdom.com/

A bunch of us at a hypertufa forum (not here) have a new challange for a 'tufa or 'crete gingerbread house type project. I'm gonna make some small ones.

It may just have to be a winter project tho.

Too much to do now. Seems like the hurrier I go , the behinder I get...........lol

(Suppose it would help if I stopped buying plants for awhile, eh ?)

Later, S

hypertufa is a forum here, right? I'll probably stop in and visit sometime...

Know what you mean about the plants....My next challenge is to get enough mulch to cover all of the weeded areas. Hate to just have to do it over and over again....
