Miniature Fairy Gardens

Have you tried the new trend in gardening? Miniature Gardens (AKA: Fairy Gardens) are very much in the news right now. The gardening and lifestyle magazines have articles about these neat little creations. We have one garden set up in one of our raised bed cedar planters, and we have the plants, accessories and fairies to let you create your own.

These gardens can be portable, created in a large pot, planter, or box (or something more unusual like a child’s wagon or a galvanized wash tub), or they can be a tiny vignette in the ground in your full-sized garden. They are charming and quick to create, and lend themselves to cute accessories. And who knows, yours might be so attractive to the wee spirits that a real fairy might take up residence there. Do you believe?
