Miniature Gardening

I have a small house and barn in the garden.  I purchased them at an arts & crafts festival years ago.  This year i came across a line of products from "Fairy Gardening" and had a blast creating my own scene in a container... I had enough left over potting mix to create another environment.  I used things from the kit and did a mix n' match with other miniatures that i had.  Then because i was so into it... i spruced up my herb container to make it a miniature scene too.

A little scene created around a house that i've had for years.
The windmill brought it all to life.

This is my first go-around with the fairy garden scene.

It morphed into something much more rustic.
I used birch branches to fashion the bench and railing.

Note the marshmallows on a stick.

I purchased some miniature plants
and also looked to my perennial
garden for creeping thyme and chicks n' hens.

Adding sticks to the background really gave it some height.

Here's my second mini garden...
fashioned from a cracked birdbath dish.
