Tiny fun with mini-gardens!

Home | Gardening | Tiny fun with mini-gardens!



We’re having a lot of fun with mini-gardens. They’re a great way to garden (indoors or out) in a small space.

Mini-gardening is similar to regular gardening, but it takes place on a smaller scale. The same considerations of shade, sun and watering apply. Groups of compatible plants are combined with gravel, rock and miniature accessories to create in-scale tiny garden scenes in a container or secreted away in a garden bed. The plants and miniature accessories stay in scale with each other to create a sustainable, true garden in miniature.

There are lots of ways to create mini-gardens: as an indoor terrarium, small desktop garden, beneath a cloche, as part of an outdoor “bonsai” planting or in a succulent low-bowl. The design & components are limited only by your imagination.
