A Rare Opportunity!
The Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens is retiring 6 houses from its collection of unique, fine-crafted gnome and fairy houses. This is a magical opportunity to acquire one of these sculptures for your own garden while funds from each purchase go toward supporting our nonprofit group, Friends of the Arboretum. They are truly one-of-a-kind works of art!
The "houses" have been exhibited during Friends of the Arboretum's annual Luminary Walk and carefully stored between events. With care and maintenance from the new owners, they will be treasured features in local gardens or outdoor living spaces.
Each house has been crafted by one of four talented local artists - Michele Sevcik, Andra Chase, Joan Sprenger and Maggie Rudzik. The houses are a well-known part of local history and culture. Viewed by thousands of people, their photos have been posted on the web and social media far and wide.
Following purchase, a member of the Arboretum staff will contact you to schedule a time for pickup on weekdays during business hours. Staff will be available to assist with loading into your vehicle. All purchases are pick-up only!
