I love gardens! Every kind in fact. I am all for growing plants that are pretty but still be edible. My patio garden has a great variety of plants, most of them are in containers. I decided to try something a little different. Mini gardens. Perfect for small spaces like I have.
A friend of mine inspired me to try a mini garden. You can find him on Facebook, here. https://www.facebook.com/taman.miniatur.7
He is a pro! Mine can’t even come close but I had a lot of fun in making them.
Here are a few I made, look below for a mini tour. Everything is very small, from the tiniest plants I could find and even some furniture I made of rocks, sticks and Popsicle sticks. The tiny signs and other things I bought at a local arts and crafts store.
The biggest one is in a fire pit thing I had laying around. I bought the gazebo and fence.
I think the pansies were too big, but I used them anyway.. I put a quarter on the flagstone for size reference.
I ended up by putting tiny gravel down to cover the soil. It set the flagstones in, and made it look better.. I didn’t get a picture of that. I did this about two weeks after I had finished for an added touch.
In the one below you can see where I made a picnic bench.
Furniture made of tiny pebbles and shells. This one was made to sit in a mini garden. It has a waterfall a table with cocktails.
Table for two??!!
A tiny cast iron bench I bought. I noticed the tag after the photo. lol must pull that off.
I sprayed this pot with that textured spray paint. Makes it look like a rock wall, but its just a cheap plastic container that was just sitting empty in the yard.
Below is a recliner or bench lounge with some tables..
They were so fun to make. A great rainy day project..
Below is a 2″ by 2″ rock house. You can see my glasses for size reference.
The rock house has a planted garden on the roof.
Below I made a tiny pergola and table.
Tiny views..
In a hanging basket..
The fence..
And another park bench.
All in all this was super fun to do. You should try one!
If you want to make your space more beautiful and relaxing ask Riverside garden care experts for help.
WOW!! You’re so talented!!
The drawings and photos and now this!!!
That is very fun and it looks like a whole lot of work!
That is so beautiful and inspiring! My fingers are aching to do something, and I love everything you did in that fire pit…What an idea! Now, I have to keep my eyes out on trash day and maybe I can snatch one.
They can be done in just about anything, from baskets to old buckets. Michaels has some cool containers if you want to spend money.
I love your miniature garden, it is so cute !
Thank you Michelle, you know what would be cool? Do a fairy garden with little Miss. She would love it. Check them out online for some ideas!
Aww! Those miniatures were cute!! Amazingly done.

I’d love to but not my cup of tea. I liked your crafts you are so good at it
So beautiful! I love all the details!
Thank you Ellie, the details is what makes them so fun.
Mini gardens are so cool, and adorable because of their size. Great work!
I really love them, they even have Christmas ones you can do, with a old time town square, and mini lights. I would love to do one of those.
A Christmas one sounds really nice, that would be awesome to see!
