I went to the garden center this year and found a new group of plants for sale. They were mini gardens all in 2-inch pots. I selected a few for a try at this fun garden style and was pleasantly surprised by the outcome of my mini garden.
The star of my mini garden was a fuchsia plant. I have never had one and wasn't sure what it would work like in this little plot of garden. The idea is to bring a fairytale quality to the garden, and this plant delivers.
It started to open, and I was enthusiastic with expectations.
The fuchsia is a really dramatic plant and fun to watch unfold in all of its glory.
When they all unfolded in the mini garden, they stole the show.
I have grown this hypoestes plant from seed before and have always loved the leaf design.
This fern was called cotton candy. What a treat for the eyes it is.
This is the blue star creeper, or Isotoma Fluviatilis. It is a ground cover that I would love to use in the garden, but it wouldn't be hardy in my zone.
To finish it out, I tucked in a mini clay pot and a garden fence to hint at the mini garden but not to have too much going on in the container.
Have you created a min garden yet?
In Victory,
Sherry

Such beautiful little garden pieces you have been creating. You certainly are enjoying the blessings of Spring. Thank you for sharing the pictures for us to enjoy as well.
Fushia are one of my favorite, they remind me of dancing fairies. I didn't know there was a mini version, I'll be looking for that. Love things which are miniature. Your wee garden is so cute.
This is so pretty and I always love things on a smaller scale - like miniatures. I do fairies in many of my summer pots...so of course I love this vibe. Fuschias are special to me as my Gram always had a hanging basket of them in her dining room window to attract the hummingbirds. 💗
How beautiful! Fushia one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing.
Oh, I love the idea! One year a made a Fairy Garden for the Grandkids! Happy Spring Dear Friend!
Hugs, Roxy
