Creating a Miniature Garden--As seen in Midwest Living Magazine

See us in the current issue of Midwest Living Magazine! We carry a wide assortment of all the accessories you need to create a little garden haven. You can create a garden of your own!
To order miniatures visit our etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/GardenBarn

This one was planted in an old vintage picnic basket but you can use just about anything that will hold dirt. An old basket, suitcase or vintage drawer would make a great container. Add a trellis, chairs, benches, fencing and paving stones. Then for finishing touches: beeskeps, birdhouses, urns, birdbaths, and even little garden tools. Choose plants according to whether you plan to keep it in shade or sun. This one features angel vine on the trellis and fern. In the small urn is a little sprig of hen and chicks which doesn't require much soil. This is a great project to do with kids or grand kids or for yourself to make the winter just a little greener! They also make a great gift to brighten someones day!

Great Gifts for Mother's Day

Charm jewelry with a special saying or image makes a meaningful gift !

These "Book Crops" have just arrived! They have the mellow tones of vintage books with heart felt quotes. Would be a very nice graduation gift as well. And in the photo below ...a wire heart holds a small flower vase just perfect for a bouquet of gathered flowers. Combine it with an old frame and vintage music or maybe a crayon colored work of art ... what mom would not be pleased?


Flat wallets in various styles and colors are very popular! Bring Mom and let her pick out her own.


We also have a selection of garden art and trellises. As well as the popular "Angel Vine" in the form of plants or trained topiaries. Be sure to enjoy our display garden and gazebo while you are here.

As the cold days of winter continue, it's so inspiring to gather up a stack of seed catalogs and dream of spring days to come. Of course I circle and highlight way more than I can possibly afford or even have time to plant but dreaming is good for the soul.
