What are Small Worlds Within Reach?

They are artfully arranged "tabletop" garden dioramas that mimic life-size gardens at a tiny fraction of the cost and space. A Small World Garden is table or counter height, making it easy to view and maintain while sitting or standing. The dimensions can vary to suit your needs. A typical Small World Garden is about 3 feet wide by 2 feet deep in a tray about 6 inches high that rests on a stand of your choosing. This is a good size for decks, patios, and balconies, and ensures portability.

A Doll Garden is simply a populated Small World Garden. The gardens are designed at 1/6 scale, which means they are the perfect setting for American vinyl icons such as Mattel's Barbie or Hasbro's G.I. Joe.

If you (or someone you care about) had to give up a big garden to move to a condo or retirement community, or if maintaining a large garden is becoming too overwhelming, uncomfortable, or expensive, then Small World/Doll Gardens are the ideal solution.

Children love Small World/Doll Gardens. Unlike the typical childhood experience of growing small plots of full-size plants (if they get to garden at all), they grow doll-size plots of small plants, creating a marvelous fantasy play environment while developing their green thumbs.
