I froze under a spray of pastel confetti, the Curious Flower ticking off another trivia prompt. You squint across a garden crowded with teapots and card guards, the gnomes small enough to be missed. Counting them felt like finding hidden coins under fallen leaves.
I’ll walk you through every hiding spot so you can answer that quiz and claim the prize without circling the island three times.
There’s a creaking wooden swing by the well — All Floating Festival Garden Gnome locations in Disney Dreamlight Valley
The island decorations are dense and colorful, and that’s intentional: the gnomes are tiny and blend into flowerbeds, props, and puzzle elements. Below I’ve mapped each spot in plain language so you can zip to them during the festival.
- One Garden Gnome sits on the right side of the wooden swing, just to the right of the well where you spawn on the island.
- Another is on the right side of Tinker Bell’s pixie house, tucked beneath a hanging lantern.
- One stands among the purple mushrooms near the Rotating Statues puzzle.
- There’s a gnome on your left after you pass through Tinker Bell’s house arch, close to the end of the rainbow.
- One is positioned beside the large talking flower you answer questions to during the Curious Flower quiz.
- Another stands a few feet in front of that talking flower, by the large yellow teapot.
- One hides under a playing card guard near where you dig after finishing the Tinker Bell capybara critter puzzle.
- There’s a gnome on your right after you go under Tinker Bell’s house arch, near the right end of the rainbow.
- A gnome stands in the corner just past Alice’s Curious Labyrinth hedge archway, close to entrances for the Labyrinth and Escape Maze puzzles.
- One is tucked underneath a pink tree immediately inside the fenced Mulan-themed area where the Bamboo Fountain puzzle is located.
- The last gnome stands in a corner beneath the vivid turquoise roof of a pink house close to the Bamboo Fountain puzzle.
How many Garden Gnomes are on the Floating Festival island?
I checked the full loop and counted every corner twice: there are 11 Garden Gnomes on the Springtime Floating Festival island. Answer that Curious Flower question correctly and you get a placeable gnome for your valley.
Where exactly are the gnomes placed in relation to puzzles and props?
They’re staged near major set pieces so the quiz forces you to scan the event map: swings, Tinker Bell’s house, purple mushrooms, the talking flower, card guards, Alice’s hedge, and the Bamboo Fountain area. If you use a map overlay from a guide like Moyens I/O or a community pin tool on Discord, you’ll shave minutes off the search.
The festival map sparkles when you approach — What the answer gets you and why it matters
Finishing the Curious Flower quiz after naming all 11 gnomes awards a placeable Garden Gnome you can put in your valley. I recommend doing the quiz when you’re comfortable moving through small crowds of NPCs; the last thing you want is to miscount because a teapot is blocking your view.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox; community guides on Reddit and Discord often post annotated screenshots that mirror the ones here from Moyens I/O. Treat the island like a treasure map, where each mark points to a tiny prize.
Will you race to collect the gnome now that you know there are eleven, or will you wait for a buddy to prove they can find them faster?
