Miniature Gardens by Donna

Welcome to Miniature Gardens by Donna.  Here you will find a variety of things to help bring the great outdoors inside or even take it on vacation.  For planting it may be shrinking a large vegetable garden to a small portable planter, recreating a forest in a small clear container or a stroll along the beach.  You may find a stones, a soothing scent, the polished beauty of wood, or a live edge.   What ever it is, we can help feed your cravings for mother nature.

The quote above is from Robbie George.  He is a nature photographer for National Geographic.  He  understands the power and the peace that nature can bring to our lives.  It is not possible to always be out in nature.  Life and reality are great at intruding on time.  Let’s not even talk about weather.  We have a lot of other things to talk about anyway.

Below you will find links to our social media accounts. We understand that not everyone wants to shop on social media so our Shop Link is also available as well as a link to our Etsy shop.  You will find the same product and great prices just in a more familiar setting.

Maybe it is the changing seasons.  Maybe it is the holidays coming in the next few months.  Whatever the reason, we at Miniature Gardens by Donna are focused on growth and transitions and, in a way, going home.  Not a place called home, that feeling called home.

I am going to tell you about some of the changes here on the Home Page.  Be sure to check out the other pages over the next month to see how our changes evolve. The biggest change is getting back to creating the things we love.  The things that make our souls smile.

I like to think that I am a pretty good writer. The truth is, that I am a better creator than I am a writer.  I just like to teach and tell stories about what I create.  We are keeping the Life of a Gardener blog, it will be just a bit different.  An update each month, instead of posts made to meet some arbitrary quota created by people selling blog and SEO instructions.  Other posts will be made when we think there is something you will really want to hear about. Keep you eyes open for a newsletter coming soon.

I am lucky to have talented and creative people in my life.  This has inspired me to add some collaborators to the shop. The carefully chosen additions will fit in well at Miniature Gardens by Donna.  Handcrafted,  with a natural feel.  We have four collaborators to add to our amazing offerings.  Check out their products in our shop and get to know them through the website pages.

On this site you will find helpful sections on plant care, such as air plants and succulents.  As well as learning how to care for terrarium and dish gardens.  Rather you are growing a shady miniature forest or creating a sunny desert scene there is information to help you  You are invited to stroll through our shop to find that perfect item for someone special or gift yourself.
