Thank you!
Bugme, yes, it's the 'suffruticosa', they happened to have one at Lowes,
it's supposedly the only one that puts up with life at 6", but hardy? I don't know.

What do you do with minigardens in containers in winter anyway?
I was going to leave mine out, kinda heavy to move.

So far. perusing threads, no-one seems to have mentioned the
antiquity of miniature gardens and landscapes.
People have been having fun with them for thousands of years
and the demographics range from Ming emperors to model train nuts.
The latter have serious scale problems, especially oo scale, where
people are less than 1" tall!

here's a Chinese one:

If I were to do it on the ground, I think I'd be more comfortable with
about 1/4 scale (6' person=15"), so you could take it in standing up.
And it would increase the plant/props list enormously!

My gardens are big and loud and demanding, so I wanted this one
to be quiet, simple and easy.
