1/6 scale Victorian conservatory greenhouse conversion
- Thread starter Shape
- Start date
Thank you DrCase! Your comment reminded me of our mail man..He cant get enough of this project. He has been there from day one asking questions and even updated the sub mail lady on what we were building..People are now stopping in front of the house looking at the conservatory grounds...I cant wait until the conservatory is actually built..It will dominate the entire grounds with beautiful stone and glass..The interior of the building will be one of my focus points..If i could take one percent of my wife's beauty and drop it on the interior of this building it would be breath taking...
One more thing. I Think at the moment this is actually a Fairy garden.?! .But the fairies are a permanent structure on the gate..I put them there to watch over the grounds and draw in good spirits. They are the same as the lions for strength and courage...I know it may sound silly to some but defining this as a fairy garden could be wrong by the definition of a miniature garden.. Definition: A miniature garden is the perfect blend of tiny trees, plants, hardscaping and garden accessories that are in scale with one another to create a lasting, living garden scene or vignette.Living Miniature Gardens include plants, patio/paths and an accessory all in scale with one another. I point all this out because the fairies in my garden are scale statues fixed permanently to the structure...I never intended on this being a fairy garden and was leaning more on building a miniature living garden..I know It does not really matter but I was asked this...Maybe you guys could help me define my garden?!
I can remember going to the Chicago Art Institute a lot when I was real little we would always clime on the lions outside then go in side to the miniature exhibit
They had hall after hall of small places behind the glass.
I would drop the fairy and go with , Miniature Garden
