All my miniatures are 1/12 scale, most frequentlt used in the dollhouse and miniature world. With my arm in the picture, I believe you get an idea of the scale.

Freida Gray's book "Making Miniature Gardens" was a great help, because I really didn't have any idea about how to make such a lovely garden myself. Instead, I had to buy those rather expensive flowers from my miniature shop. Even though it is a lot of fun to make greenery and flowers yourself, you will need a lot more patience to make them than you'd need for any other miniature project. It's a lot of working with tweezers and magnifiers. And please, don't ever sneeze while making those !!

I love to have as much flowers in my garden as possible. And planting new flowers out of little seed packages is a fun little project to do. First you can put together the seed trays with some wood leftovers, give it the color of your choice (I believe natural wood colors looks best on these boxes), fill it withn dark brown railroad material, such as layout ballast, add the little seed packages and you're done. These seed packages are either available from your local dollhouse and miniature store or you can try and make them yourself.

On a sunny day, you may wanna enjoy your garden the most and sit outside, just looking at all your flowers, have a little snack.

After we moved into our real new house, a lot of my miniatures were badly dammaged. Here is what I saved from my german garden. I gave it a complete new look.
