You create a mini garden by looking at regular gardens that interest you, then finding plants that look like the ones that caught your eye, only smaller and planting them in the same 'theme'. For accessories, look at doll house stuff. Benches, bird baths, pails, they even have wheel barrels and mini tools. You can make things with a glue gun and twigs, like tables, chairs, etc. Just look at a regular one, and use small twigs and glue where it is nailed on your model. Just use your imagination. A coke bottle top is a cute 'planter' for your mini bench you make from twigs. Put a tiny flower (plastic or silk) in it with some dirt and it's color year round. I have quite a few "Fairy" gardens, maybe my pix will inspire you...|||You need a place which sells dolls' houses and all the equipment which goes with it, including scaled to size garden furniture. They have everything for the mini garden, including greenhouses, wheelbarrows, little plant pots and so on. Try looking on the web for something like "Dolls House Emporium" and get their catalogue which will give you ideas. Plants which are very good for a mini garden are the small succulents which you can find in any garden centre. I have a mini Japanese garden with a bonsai tree and a little Japanese man fishing in a pond. This stays outside all year with a bit of bubble wrap for protection during the really cold part of the year.|||Good. Now buy some plants to put in the compost, low maintenance shrubs like Hebe come in all different varieties, some flowering, some dark and some light. Fir trees are also easy to keep too. Then buy a few flowers to give some colour, like pansies and lobelia. In the autumn, get some spring bulbs like tulips and daffodils and this will set you up with your basic mini garden. B&Q and Woolworths will kit you out, fancy garden centres are more expensive. Keep going and experiment each season, it takes a little while to get it right and looking how you want. Hang a washing line between two posts.
