A few years ago, when my daughter was younger, she was a believer in fairies, I think she still is. I made her a small fairy garden of her own for her fairy dolls. We planted a huge, wide planter with miniature size plants and a few larger flowers for fairy trees. We made a fairy house out of scrap pieces of wood that we glued pretty stones and shells to. We even made a fairy hammock out of a shell suspended between two sticks. We made a path leading to the fairy house through the planter using tiny flat stones. We made an arbor with sticks bent and twisted together that the path led under in front of the fairy house. My daughter was in charge of this garden, watering it and weeding and caring for it. She enjoyed doing this, as well as playing with her fairy dolls in the fairy garden. I think most of her friends were a little jealous of her garden and they all loved playing with it. Even my older sons got into the construction of the fairy house, and fixed it a few times when it was coming apart a little, making improvements, even.


Some of the plants we used in the fairy garden... we used tiny Corsican Mint as a ground cover around the house and other plantings, like a fairy lawn, we also had Sweet Allysum, which comes in whites and lavenders and smells so good, And Candytufts were the tall flowers for fairy trees. One year we used Geraniums for the fairy trees.


We used tiny shells for dishes for a fairy tea party setting.


Have fun with your fairy garden!
Reply:You should plant some butterfly attracting flowers. Give them some dense green undergrowth for caterpillars to eat and they will soon be fluttering around and make your fairy garden seem real!
Reply:That sounds great. I had seen pictures of on somewhere, can't remember where though. I want one too now. You could plant some mini roses and ivy. You could hide little fairy figurines and marbles in the pots and along paths. Hope this helps a bit.
