Miniature garden

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :)

The new miniature gardens are making, and I make them together with my friends, and because these little gardens will be presents for others, therefore I'll put picture of them after few weeks.

But, till then here an anothert picture about a "palmful" miniature vegetables from "Tiny world":  

Relax under the tree and by the cactus. :)

A little chair invite you to relax under the buxus tree... :)

If you haven't got enough place for a lake, make tub lake... :)

Blooming siberian iris (Iris sibirica) in the tub lake:

... and yellow floating-heart (Nymphoides peltata):

This miniature garden was the gift for the Botanic Garden of University of Szeged for the kindly invitation to the Flower exhibition.

This is the most detaliled miniature garden of mine, yet. :) I try to make a real old hungarian village house.

A small path leads to the house. There is a pitcher tree next to the path, and a real tree stands by the house, under it with a bench (I made it from toothpicks :) ). If you look inside the cottage you can see a little bed (with little bedclothes - I sew it myself) and an old stove, what is not used, because a stork couple made a nest on the chimney (there are 3 eggs in yet).  And in front of the little house there is a small wooden table with a small bowl, and a small bottle with 'Szilva' label (it means 'plum' in hungarian), and there is a real 'pálinka' (firewater) in it. :)

I got a kindly invitation to the Flower exhibition of the Botanic Garden of the University of Szeged (Szeged is a largest city in southeastern Hungary). The Flower exhibiton was on 22-23. april 2011.

It was great! :) Everybody admired my miniature gardens ("how could yot put it inside this?", "wow, how small is it!", "how much patience you have", etc... :) ) and congratulate for them.

Thanks for the workers of the botanic garden and to the deputy director.

The delivery of my gift miniature garden for the botanic garden to the deputy director, Anikó Németh: 

Meet you there again on 30-31. july 2011 on the Lotus Days! :)

I like to wish Happy Easter with my these little "gardens" with easter eggs (and the real size egg for the scale)! :)

This is my smallest miniature garden - I made it in a soap dispenser. :)

You can see inside a small path next to a little red bench, and two little succulent behind, a sempervivum and a "big" rock in front of the bench.

This is one of my favorite miniature garden, with the little wings - one from wood and one from tire of toy car. And if the kids are bored with swinging, they could play with the old game, named 'Gazdálkodj okosan' ('Manage wisely', it's a hungarian game, something like the Monopoly). :)

A little bug playing on the Playground... :)
