How many flowers can you fit into a Mini?

3 hydrangeas
12 azaleas
2 something-or-others (white flowering plants, I've forgotten their name!)
1 large wisteria
1 medium wisteria


But I bet I still could have fit more if I tried. I was quietly surprised at the crowd that had gathered behind me as I squished carefully packed all of these plants into the boot of the Mini.
All the "non-believers" were giggling away and wondering how I would manage. But I did!
The plants were purchased for the outdoor project and I'll share with you the final space very soon!

In the meantime, I'd love to know, do you drive a small car and can you pack your world into it?

  1. Love it Viv! As a stylist (who drives a small car) I know very well what you mean! My car seems to be squished to the rim at all times! x

  2. We used to drive a Smart and now we have gone up a little and have a Fiat 500. The strange thing is that you could actually fit more in the trunk of the Smart! But luckily we now have rear seats so they can double as extra trunk space ;-)

  3. We recently tried to go camping, as a family of four, with a Toyota Prius. These are not as small as Minis obviously but hardly a family car. Nobody could see out the windows nor move an inch, so wedged in were we. Luckily we only had an hours drive!
    I am so jealous of your buys today. It is going to be fabulous come summer.

  5. I have a Mini, too! Sometimes people will stop and say, I didn't know you had so much trunk space! But it's because we can fold down the back seat.

    If you ever need to carry something rigid in your car, just know that the max for the Mini is 4 feet. And that's including putting the thing in at a diagonal and pushing the passenger seat up as far as it will go. I managed to shove a 4-foot-long piece of plywood into my Mini, and I could just close the trunk.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a comment, Viv xx
