I had purchased a ready-made minitature patio, complete with tool shed and little gardening tools, wheelbarrel, patio furniture, 1/2 barrel planters and window boxes to hang on the fence....even a tiny birdbath...but can't find a pic online to show you. Anyway, you can make them out of just about anything...even an old planter saucer...and there are hybrid true-miniature plants that you can buy...or try and miniaturize a full-sized plant yourself by pinching it back often, like a bonsai. I tried to grow 'grass' out of moss, but it was a total disaster...LOL...I can't keep the moss out of my outside garden, yet I can't bribe it to grow for me inside.
