Remember these fabulous gardens in miniature that I saw at my local garden center? I fell in love with them and have been gathering plants to make my own. I have a beautiful large cobalt blue planter and I added a japanese maple, a miniature hosta, a dwarf conifer and a small viola. I’ve been looking around for hardscape elements to add to it and then realized I had the perfect little house right under my nose. My MIL gave me this cute little ceramic house years ago and I think it works perfectly. I’m still looking for something else to add, not sure what yet but when I find it I will know it. It’s looking pretty good so far.

how ’bout a tiny troll, elf or fairy of some sort…just outside the doorway? I want to make a little fairy door and work my garden around it …. then… must make me a tiny “person” of some sort too……

That’s pretty adorable (and about the size of garden I feel like taking care of).

What a perfect little fairyland! Such a cute idea – I just love it.
Wouldn’t it be great to make these with kids for them to learn about gardening too?

Very sweet. How about something to trail gently down the side of the container?

This looks FANTASTIC Suzy, I love it! Reminds me of Hansel and Gretel walking to the cottage in the woods, or Red Riding Hood going to granny’s house!

I love your miniature forest/garden! This is so much more fun (for someone like me anyway) than a bonsai tree that really wants to be outside, but YOU want it inside and it dies… This will be a great thing for you and your kids to enjoy together.
(P.S. I love your new banner too!)

Aw, that’s so cute! In a way, putting the mini-house on the container makes it seem smaller, especially when it’s next to the plant. It brings a great effect and the whole thing looks very pretty.
