Jennifer in California said it right, “This fairly quiet little website is deceiving: there is so much information here!”
The Miniature Garden Society website has been growing slowly alongside the new hobby of Gardening in Miniature for the last eight years. Eight years! That’s a lot of gathered information, new ideas and sharp insight that you just can’t find anywhere else.
This unusual site now boasts over 160 pages of all kinds of miniature garden fun. Such a big website for such a little hobby!
So, What’s Inside the Miniature Garden Society?
Here’s a list of most of the pages. The plant directory pages AND my latest video on how to start a miniature garden in an existing garden bed isn’t included in the list… but you can see by the information alone, that this is a truly unique website.
PLUS there are photos, digital downloads and videos throughout the site that this list doesn’t mention:

Whew! That list is a bit obsessive, no? :o)
Hey, it only took me 23 years to do. It’s nothing, really. Lol!
And if you’re wondering if there is anything left of the hobby to document or write about, there is still puh-lenty in my opinion! The hobby of gardening in miniature can be a seasonal hobby – or it can keep you engaged all year ’round, year after year. It’s adaptable and accessible, rich and deep or simply sweet. Your miniature garden = your choice.
And this exclusive community website is just the thing…
It’s A Living Book About a Living Hobby
If you’re familiar with my work published in the two Gardening in Miniature books, published by Timber Press, this Miniature Garden Society website is my books on steroids. It’s been 10 years since the first books was published and this exclusive members-only website has been kept up to date with the latest findings, techniques, and troubleshooting that didn’t fit into the books, or were discovered and documented since.
So, if you’re a subscriber to my Mini Garden Gazette, this is where the all tips and techniques from the Gazettes are collected and organized.
If you are a fairy gardener – and want to get more garden into your fairy garden – this site is for you too.
But wait, there’s more.
More Mini Garden Access to More Mini Garden Insight
Only because you asked: I made another Mini Garden Club membership level is just to access the information on the website. This level is perfect for the miniature and fairy gardeners who only want the information, the directions, the project and the insight. Plus – there is a forum to connect with your fellow MGS members, ask any questions or get feedback.
The Fellowship Level includes free ebooks, a standing 15% discount to our online Two Green Thumbs Miniature Garden Center Store, individual email help and insight into building a business around this hobby, including production, transporting and selling.
You can see more details of this unique website plus a comparison chart of the membership levels, here at the Miniature Garden Society.
