 Tears follow excitement Oct 01, 2007
By Linda E. Chatterjee
This garden becomes beautiful overnight. However, the first time someone walks past the table where it is placed, it falls apart! We thought someone had accidentaly crashed into my daughter's first magic garden so we bought her a replacement - same story. This item is so fragile it is bound to dissappoint.

 worth it Apr 14, 2009
By H. Held
My 4-year-old daughter got this for a gift. This takes steady hands. The box says 8 and up, and that's true, little ones will need an adult or older child - the paper trees and mountain don't fit very well in the plastic tray and it was frustrating getting them to stand up. In the end half the mountain wasn't in the tray. After the assembly I was ready for the whole thing to be a wash, but we were all surprised when it grew! Totally worth the effort. My expectations were to keep it a couple of days and toss it out, so the fragileness of the finished product doesn't bother me.

It is magical, but fragile Nov 29, 2007
By M. Garcia
I bought this for myself to put in my office and it was great! It's very easy to put together, but as mentioned, it's fragile and can easily fall over. Because mine is in an office, no one bothered it and it lasted for months. Everyone kept coming by to see if it had grown more. I wouldn't recommend it for children because it takes steady hands to make the trees stand up.

Use hotglue to help stabilize Aug 03, 2011
By kathleen morgan
"dezreen"
We were glad to read other reviews to know we weren't the only ones who found this product to be very tipsy. Before pouring the liquid into the tray we hot glued all paper parts to the tray with small dots of hot glue. It worked really well to keep the pieces of paper from tipping and the liquid was still able to be absorbed by the paper.

 Poorly designed - stick with ToySmith Dec 17, 2009
By Jennifer Johnson
"Mom who loves to play"
We had a lot of lucky with the Christmas tree from ToySmith and my daughter enjoyed it, so while doing some last minute Christmas shopping I picked this up. It was VERY difficult to get any of the pieces to stay in place, and I LOVE to put things together. Even my husband had problems getting anything to stay in place. We finally resorted to using scissors to get things to be the correct size. The tray is SUPER flimsy (not at all like the hard plastic from the ToySmith Christmas tree), the grass strips are way to long, the base of the trees is too wide to fit in the circle, the slots in the two tree pieces are cut wide so they collapse and do not stay together, the mountain does not fit the couture of the hole provided no matter how you fold it, troughs for the liquid are too shallow, and the whole tray bows so even on our flat countertop the pieces fall over. We put it together (after about 30 minute of trimming and manipulating) on the counter before bed, poured the liquid in the best we could, and went to bed, when I woke up both of the trees had fallen over. ARGG! The flip side is that it did grow, but the snow is not on the top of the mountain (only the lower 2/3), which does not make sense and the middle part of the garden did not grow at all even though I made sure all the piece had adequate liquid. I think I will stick with the ToySmith version. The tray is hard plastic, and the is a perfect x cut in it to put the tree in so it stay. That product can be easily moved - not true of this one. It is headed for the trash. :(
