Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for my miniature garden?

Miniature gardens are just like their larger counterparts.  They need the right water, light, and temperature conditions to survive.  Each one of our gardens are planted with species that require similar conditions.  Your garden will  either be indoor or outdoor, and most of our outdoor gardens require partial shade.  Outdoor gardens will need to be protected from harsh weather including deep freezes and heavy rains, but otherwise will thrive on a back patio.  Because the plantings and stones in your tiny world are more delicate than a large garden, you will need to mist (or lay ice cubes on your garden) to provide water.   If cared for properly, your little garden can last for years!

How much do miniature gardens cost?

Each of our gardens are unique and priced individually.  Price will depend on the types of plants included in a garden, the size, and any other specialty features added including waterfalls, streams, special miniature decor, etc.

Can I buy one of your custom pots?

Yes, our pots are available for purchasing and shipping.

Do you make gardens with fake plants?

No, all of our our gardens are organic and living.  They are also true miniature plants and, with a little trimming now and again, they will not outgrow your little world.

Do you ship your gardens?

Currently, we are not shipping whole gardens.  We are doing custom orders for the PNW and are available at selected local retailers.  We are expanding our retail reach daily.  If you would like a specific custom order (type or theme), please do not hesitate to contact us.  We love doing custom work for our clients!

Where can I find the miniature decorations Homes For Gnomes uses?

You can find them at local craft stores or make them yourself as we do with many of ours.  We are currently building up inventory to offer quality and affordable options for our clients.

Do you offer tutorials on how to get started making my own miniature gardens?

We will be launching our YouTube channel in the next few months with full tutorials from how to make your own pots to how to plant, build, decorate and care for your own gardens.  We have begun production and will offer instructions on how to make a variety of gardens  with step by step directions for everything including creating REAL water features and how to build everything in your own miniature world.  Included will be how to make your own accessories and design ideas.  Stay tuned!
