Hobbit House by 1967 GeezerI'm not sure why I’m featuring these little landscapes - tiny gardens with real plants. All I know is that I saw a photo of one and had to keep looking for more!
from Two Green ThumbsI will build you a house
If you do not cry
A house little girl
As tall as the sky.
from the Miniature Garden Shoppe I will build you a house
Of golden dates
The freshest of all
For the steps and gates.
from Little Landscapes. Some instructions on their website here. For you and me
With walnuts and hazels
Fresh from the tree.
Kelly Point House by The White BearI will build you a house
And when it is done
I will roof it with grapes
To keep out the sun.

Your blog never, ever fails to give me something to smile about. I love that little poem too, it's just about as sweet as the Hobbit House :)
Fascinating. I am currently on a tiny quest myself so I will check back and may link to this post.
Making these tiny environments gives people a complete self-controlled world, I believe, as opposed to the larger world which is not always so tractable.
These are fantastic. I've just begun a new line of Timid Monsters in jar habitats, and while making them, I've wished they could be with real plants and things.
Maybe I'll have to give it a try.
How fun. ohh, ohh - photoshop yourself in & we can play I spy!
Are'nt they cute!
Oh they are so fun! How could you not look for more?! I have a smallish indoor plant conservatory into which I made a park with "trees", a bench, a greenhouse. But now I just have pots of plants in it.
They are darling...I can't imagine keeping them up. Well decorated too!
OMG these are just too die for awesome is a understatement

This is a great way for someone to have a garden even if they haven't got the space for a really big one.
I very much enjoy these photos, the charm of spring. :)

those are the cutest things I've seen ever, thanks for sharing the photos!
These little gardens are so cute. They remind me of one I created, with succulents, in the upturned lid of an old pottery casserole dish, when I was about ten. I used shells and rocks to create bridges and match sticks for fences. I'd forgotten all about it until I saw your wonderful post. Thanks for the memories.
I want that Hobbit House! These gardens are all so adorable. I love the diversity of your posts! They're always an exciting surprise :)

All best wishes to you

they are all so cute and fascinating.
I particularly like the one with the caravan.
I would like to live in one of these. So pretty!
They are so cute. I think my Bonsai plants need a bit of treatment. I remember seeing a book about this long ago...pretty sure they were called 'Funsai' (fun bonsai) but a recent google search pulls up nothing. Bon(sigh)
Thanks so much for sharing this - I really enjoyed these tiny gardens!
Wow they are super adorable!!! I want one!!! Hahaha :)
Oh! I need one of these :)
I have just the pot too!
These are fairy gardens if there ever were any. I would like to be a fairy with her own little Air Stream. Lovely enchanting post!
