Gardening in Miniature: Create Your Own Tiny Living World Paperback – Illustrated, June 18, 2013

This has so many ideas and cute pictures of fairy gardens. The book is easy to read. Highly recommend!

These items came in handy when my grandchildren visited. We built miniature gardens with real plants. It was such fun even the teens got involved

Miniature gardens, fairy gardens, railroad gardens – they are all about small space gardening to the point that even if you only have an outdoor balcony you can grow a tiny garden scene. Plant it, decorate it, and add characters to it, it’s all to scale of course, no matter what size garden you have! Janit Calvo takes you through the steps of creating your own tiny living world in this charming book.Every page is packed full of wonderful photographs and ideas, you could really get lost in this art form. My favorite garden in the book was the pond in the pot, but many of her created gardens intrigued me.If the bug of gardening in miniature hasn’t bitten you, this book will send you right over to the wee side, a place you will never regret going! This is a good book to get you started, or if you already have some under your belt, Calvo helps inspire you to create more.

What a cute little book!. The pictures in this book are so lovely and colorful that I have been using it as a coffee table book. Every one that visits our home picks it up and looks at it and comments on beautiful pictures and clever ideas, The photos have given me tons of ideas on what to put in my little gardens and also gives lots advice on scale, plants and lighting.However, this reference book does not give enough advice for beginners, it's not for children or moms looking to do a project with her kids. This would definitely be for some one with an adult or some one with a green thumb.

We follow Janit Calvo`s website Two Green Thumbs and when you think you have seen it all on a website...not... some of the BEST eye candy in minature gardening! Of the 250 + pages maybe the last 5 do not have photos. The photos are fantastic!!! This is not a book on fairy gardens but the ideas are amazing, flip through some pages Amazon offers. Bought this one for my 9 year old for Christmas who enters fairy gardens in 4H. Will be purchasing a second to donate to our local library in memory of a dear neighbor.

I'm a beginner miniature gardener and this book was perfect to get me started. The book covers subjects such as accessories, plants suitable for the garden, scale, patios and walkways, garden projects for the do-it-yourselfers, plant and garden care, and more. The photos are clear and lovely. I made a couple of trellises and arbors following the directions in the book, and they look right at home in my little gardens. Whether you are a beginner or a pro at miniature gardening, this book is a nice addition to your inspiration library.

Oh my goodness!!!!! This book so exceeds my original expectations of a gardening in miniature book. It arrived in perfect condition. The cover is beautiful and each and every page sings with creative ideas. I can't wait to get started on my miniature garden now that I have the right book to guide me. I am so happy I ordered this fabulous book. "Thank You" for sharing your talents in such a wonderful book Janit Calvo.
