Yes, Tiffany, I am going to leave them out all year long. I made a fairy garden in an old wheel barrow that I have left out all winter. The plants came back last spring but will be too big to leave in there if they come back this year. I have some old wash basins that I want to make into Mini Gardens. I am going to get them started and add the plants later. Just looking for plant ideas that can withstand our winters and some dry conditions.
