1. Gifting Peperomias
September 06, 2021
Do you have children in your life, or perhaps adults who would not mind feeling like kids again? Chances are, these loved ones are embarking on something new and important. After all, now is the time for back-to-school, back-to-the-office… and it is certainly back-to-neighborliness. Now might be the...

2. 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...

3. "New School" Small Hydrangeas
August 30, 2021
Something seems amiss when talking about Hydrangeas and miniature plants in the same breath. But today these topics go together well.
The world of the Hydrangea has opened to all who adore miniature plants. Varieties are now small enough for gardeners to enjoy in containers, borders, and sma...

4. Growing Oxalis
August 30, 2021
Green Thumbs often take pride in growing plants that need pampering. I once spent time nurturing orchids. When friends marveled at those temperamental orchids, my hat size expanded. But easy-to-grow plants are just as rewarding as those that put up a fight. They make miniature gardening a pleasure. ...

5. 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 s...

6. Getting Started in Miniature Gardening with Proven Winners
August 09, 2021
How do you choose plant stock for your miniature garden? I typically am not drawn to labels and logos. But when I spy the white containers and leaf logo of Proven Winners®, consistency and high quality come to mind. This is not to say these are the only plants I purchase. But they are some of my fav...

7. Window Dressing
August 03, 2021
Everyone can have a garden. Plants are as happy to be nurtured by urban dwellers in tight quarters as they are to be tended by those possessing acres. 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 t...

8. 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 s...

9. Garden Time is Family Time
July 05, 2021
Shh. Do you hear that? It is the sweet sound of silence! I love a quiet morning in my miniature garden, with hours spent weeding, watering, and admiring my miniature plants. I never feel completely alone, because I have all of my fairy friends with me, but it is nice to take a break from the hustle ...

10. 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 th...
