Just about every garden shop has a display this year
Wanted to share some of the photos I took for inspiration


These houses were at a herb fair, a bit pricey but real well done

These are great. These things are truly a blast to make

Just braigging a little but here are some container-based gardens I made (now clogging my entire small front and backyards!)

Those are really great! Lovey dubby I saw a vendor at our local farmers market who makes sedum minigardens. I think I might try some like that, they seem like they would be easier to care for!

Yes when doing mini gardens, usually we use small plants that stay small, and bonzais that can be trimmed to be kept small.
