Fathers Day 2016 in the Miniature Garden
Happy Father’s Day from the Miniature Garden.

Happy Father’s Day from America’s Favorite Miniature Garden Center!

We had fun putting this together for Dad’s special day. Have a wonderful Father’s Day weekend!

The black water bowl was purchased years ago and has seen (felt?) several miniature gardens over the years. It’s the perfect shape for a miniature scene. This one is about 18″ in diameter.

The tree is a Seiju Dwarf Elm from TwoGreenThumbs.com.

The pot is 18″ across and drilled for drainage.

Here’s lookin’ at you, Dad! Have the camera make eye contact with the critter in your miniature garden – as if it was caught in the act. It starts the story.

Plants from left to right, (click here to see what’s available right now, in the store.)

  • Dwarf Mondo Grass (Ophiopogon japonicus ‘Nana’)
  • Sea Foam (Herneria glabra) alternated with
  • Hens & Chicks (Semperviren tectorum)
  • Red Thyme behind the Dwarf Mondo Grass, upper right (Thymus praecox)

Include a tiny scene to draw the viewer into your miniature garden. It’s the details that will keep them smiling – and animals always work. That is a HO scale model figure in the wee barbecue miniature garden. You can find those tiny accessories at your local train/hobby store, or they are everywhere online.
