Garden Plants
Remember the Golden Garden Rule: “Put the right plant in the right place.”
The other Golden Garden Rule: “You can’t fool Mother Nature.”
TOP TIP: Very few plants that we recommend for miniature gardening can be brought inside for the winter. Do a bit of homework to be sure you can bring that outdoor tree inside and you’ll save yourself time and effort.
