Farmfresh suggested we create a thread on this subject so here it is!



This is the Fairy Garden that I created this morning, I was going for a tropical-ish theme.

Thanks Patrice! I just love this idea.

Here’s a container garden I put together too.



Really the only difference between Fairy Gardens and container gardens is the ornaments you add to the container. In a fairy garden you are creating a scene or a room where a fairy or gnome would live or visit.

The sky’s the limit with regards to plants or decorations, pick whatever you love and add them to a container. You can even add small strings of battery operated lights or solar stakes.

Here’s my Fairy Garden lit up at night

It just keeps getting cuter! Where did you get those lights?

Thanks, I got them from Dollar Tree, they were a $1 each.

I love it! I will get a picture of ours and post it later today.

Thanks calendula, I cannot wait to see what your kids made. It’s such a good way to get kids into gardening!

This is Lily and Palmer’s fairy garden. It is in a rectangular planter, the type you’d put on a window sill. We would like to transfer it to something a little bigger, but not so big that I can’t easily bring it into the house over winter. We have some pansies, hen and chicks, and a couple other plants that I don’t remember the names of right now.

That is adorable, I love the little gnome and the animals! Great job Lily and Palmer!!!
