A woman at work did much the same but called it a "fairy garden" (and you're the one with the fairies). She put out little miniature figurines and such among the plants and the next day they were all gone. A bird, a squirrel, who knows? Well, anyway, I think your miniature garden is charming.LostRoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586462466899344347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-46926360181184518452007-06-11T18:32:00.000-04:002007-06-11T18:32:00.000-04:00Curtis...

Actually, most impatiens would be too big, except maybe those little firefly impatiens. And I'm skipping the lily of the valley because they would spread too much, though the garden fairies might like them.<BR/><BR/>Ruth...

I do like the ones you have as they look to be a more reasonable size though it may just be the foreshortening caused by the camera.

But I was always worried about the same thing you mentioned, that they'd be smothered by bigger, stronger neighbors. I'm sure I have somewhere I can take out some sod to dedicate to a miniatures garden. Everything looks so nice, and I think you probably have the happiest garden fairies around :-)Colleen Vanderlindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08396040906688814232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-8076247101106057282007-06-11T04:04:00.000-04:002007-06-11T04:04:00.000-04:00I'm sure the fairies will love it!
