What's the difference between My Garden and Sun Garden? What about My Garden Mix-N-Match?
It seems that all three patterns were introduced in 1999, and were meant to co-ordinate with each other. Sun Garden has a solid yellow crackle band on the rim of the plate, while My Garden is predominantly white. My Garden Mix-N-Match adds a central decoration, and its most distinctive feature is a rope motif circling the centre of the plate.

Cups, saucers and bowls for Sun Garden are identical to those of My Garden, and they do not have a yellow rim. It is uncertain whether a different platter was offered in Sun Garden, perhaps the My Garden platter was meant for both. Corning Ware cookware and many accessories like cream & sugar sets were named after My Garden, but they suit Sun Garden equally well.

Both My Garden and Sun Garden were available as complete boxed sets, but My Garden Mix-N-Match seems to be just an open stock item, and the only piece might be the 7¼" side plate. Dinner and luncheon plates with this pattern have not been seen so far.
