Whether you believe in fairies or not, fairy gardens are a fun, creative way to add charm and character to your yard and garden areas. Let me show you how I created two of mine.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fairy gardens can be created for inside or outside of your home. Depending on where the fairy garden will be, the first thing you will do is select a structure to hold the fairy garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For fairy gardens that will be indoors, you could choose structures like terra cotta pots\/planters, bird cages, and baskets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For outdoor gardens, bird baths, dry creek beds, and ground space near a tree are perfect options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I created this particular fairy garden next to a dry creek bed I made by a gutter coming off the front of our house into a flower bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hate the look of gutters, but we needed this one for water run-off. So I decided why not make the space look like a real creek with miniature plants and fairy garden elements? I added a couple of fairies, a miniature bench, and fairy house and I loved how it turned out \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dry creek bed and backdrop of stone on our porch’s foundation are a perfect background for an outdoor fairy garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a yard sale this spring, I found this adorable old terra cotta planter. When I saw it, I knew it would be perfect for an indoor fairy garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indoor fairy gardens are much easier to create (in my opinion) because you don’t have to worry about the wear and tear of the outdoor elements on your garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indoor gardens are a perfect spot to add faux miniature plants and moss for a ground covering. They’re also great for adding more miniature sized elements like swings, stones paths bridges, faux mushrooms and so much more! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m told that fairies also like shiny objects, so shiny stones, mirrors, and water features for them to see their reflection are also fun ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope I’ve inspired you to created a fairy garden of your own. I’ve got a few more ideas of some that I want to work on around here too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s recap how to make a fairy garden:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  • Decide if the garden will be inside or outside<\/li>
  • Choose a structure or an area to hold your fairy garden<\/li>
  • Select miniature plants, faux or real to add a natural element. Water features are also great!<\/li>
  • Layer the garden with items like pebbles, shiny stones, moss, miniature items such as fairy houses, birds, bridges, swings, and bridges.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    There are so many creative options for creating unique, one of a kind fairy gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just have fun with it and I’m sure the fairies will come \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n
