I have spent all weekend thinking and wishing I could be doing mine.. I think for my first one I am gonna do one in a small enuff pot to make a centerpiece for my table outside and I think I am gonna make it all rustic.. build everything with sticks and twigs and make some minautre cement pots etc. :)

I could get addicted to this.. I love all the ideas, pictures etc!

Took a few more pics of it today, give ya a better idea of what I have going on....I still need to paint 2 more bird houses.  I didn't like the stand I had the pot on, so I took one of my big pots and flipped it upside down.  Do ya like my green water through the rails, my UV on that pond has quit working.  DH didn't put it up last fall, and left it under the deck where I believe water froze in it, it has a crack.  He needs a kick in the behind for that.

Oh, btw Tinkster...........I won two ebay autions.  One is a mini patio set and the other is the white table and 2 chairs with umbrella.  I'll take a pic when it gets here.  I'm gonna half to build me something else to keep my mine garden in.  Or should I be saying, making another.  I've got to have it high enough to keep the puppy out of it for now.  She still thinks all things are her toys.

I love your mini garden. I planted one very similar to it last summer with the group buy we did. Got it all planted and set it out by my whiskey barrel water gardens and I came home from work and found that one of the dogs had rototilled it all up. Ruined everything. >:(
I've bought a number of succulents, sedums and echeverias from Walmart this month. They had one of those rolling racks inside the door that was full of all kinds of succulents, sedums, etc. Most of the smaller sized ones were only $1.77 each. :)

I would be interested in doing a group buy on them again this year.

Kim, very cute!

Esther, that gazebo is darling!

Anyone looking for groundcover sedums? I have loads of Dragon's Blood Sedum and a bright green one too, blooms white, can't remember the name. I have green hens and chicks with a dark cast to them also. The sedums are too aggressive for miniature plantings. I would send for postage. I am going to rip out a lot of it.

That looks lovely! I bet you could plant something in the upside down rim of the bottom pot too.

Kim,

I just stumbled across this post.  I must say you have done wonderful things with your semps and sedums.  Some of your's look better than the ones I pulled them from.  Great job.  Maybe this is one of those times the teacher need to take lessons from the student!!!!

Look at how much it has changed already this year.  Now that the cat is out of the bag, you can see how pitiful my plants were I started with and where I got them, I paid pretty good for them too.  :really: and they had grown some already before I took those first pics.  I wish I had pics of it from last year still.

Your mini garden grew in very nicely and the new birdhouses are cute.  I like the little pup  8)

I painted that dog in ceramics class some 13 years ago or so.  I just happened to come across it and thought I would just sit in it a pot somewhere.

  I've been getting mini succulents for a few yrs from this strange guy at the flea market who, after probably 3 yrs, still doesn't recognize me! LOL I divide them, and put themin the GH.
  I find old planters for a buck or 2.
  I keep the succulents in the GH where they thrive, then plant them in these odd old containers. By Xmas, they are partially filled in and I just find a gnome or something interesting, add a few stones here and there and BOOM I have a great Xmas gift!
 EVERYONE who has recieved one loves it!
 Dopey me (who also has a bunch of dollhouse furniture) didn't think to go to the mini store! I won't pay their prices though!
