13. American Skunk Cabbage—how to Remove It September 28, 2021 This plant is native to Western North American, but it was introduced to the UK to be used as an ornamental bog plant.  Once this plant has established itself, it is very invasive and will form dense colonies.  It does require wet conditions to survive but there are no particular soil requirements.  It gets its name from the strong fragrance of the flowers that resemble the smell that is produced by a skunk.

16. Mirrored Garden Displays September 06, 2021 Contrasts add excitement. I love seeing large plants in juxtaposition with small ones. Contrasting sizes, mixed together, invite the eye to inspect. But lately I have been playfully mirroring my large-scale gardens with miniature garden displays using the same plants, in reduced form. In one garden bed, I have a border of large Elegans Hostas.

This works, but it takes up space. In filling a nearby area of much less space... (read more) Author: Florence Blum

Fast-forward to our gardens of today: What would Great-Gram and Gramp make of the Hydrangeas thriving as miniature plants in patio containers... (read more) Author: Florence Blum

Oxalis is easy to grow, especially when treated as a houseplant. With minimal care, it rewards the gardener with pleasing foliage color, an interesting form that changes based on light, and flowers.

19. Rock Gardening with Miniature Plants August 09, 2021 Nature loves to fill any void. We see her grass in sidewalk cracks and her wildflowers in the crevices in rock faces. In time, Nature fills in. But we may not want to wait for Nature to adorn stone walls and stepping stones on our property. If we yearn to green up an area or get a certain specimen to take hold, we must help things along.

These walls have become home to a host of miniature plants. This started with… well... (read more) Author: Florence Blum

And miniature plants, with their ability to bring riches to bear on a small space… well, they turn house into home. I will not forget trips to Europe where almost every balcony bore the marks of a gardener. Form, texture, color, scent—all punctuated the architecture. Hardscapes were softened by foliage from window boxes, and green thumbs seemed to have anointed every structure in sight. Some of my favorite green-thumb “moves” back home...

23. Designing a Magical Place July 14, 2021 In the gardening world, bigger is often thought to be better—blousy peonies, so heavy they bend under their own weight… Casa Blanca lilies on stems that rise to the height of children.... These are what make many gardeners’ eyes light up. But enter the world of the fairy garden—a display of dainty specimens often made smaller through trimming and division to mimic the trees, shrubs, and plantings of the larger world on a magically reduced scale—and you will be charmed on a new level. Bend low, peer down a pathway of small Boxwoods trimmed Bonsai-style to create a hedgerow, pass by a self-... (read more) Author: Florence Blum

25. Growing a Collection of Miniature Plants July 01, 2021 Do you have a favorite miniature plant? It is a hard question, I know. It is especially difficult to choose a favorite miniature plant if you, like me, have a large (and ever-growing) collection of fairy garden plants. Is it the Bonsai tree that arches over the neighborhood of fairy houses? Is it the colorful cactus, the delicate flowers, or maybe even the groundcover plant you never thought would flourish?
