Fairy Garden

How to make your very own "Fairy Garden" (by: Natalie)
 
 

First you start with some kind of base.  We used a container that plants come in but you could use any type of plastic box or bowl.

We added some potting soil and started adding plants.  We added mostly succulents and a few flowering plants and moss.

Next we put in some sand and tiny pebbles.  Then we put bigger rocks on top to make the walkway.  We used old thread spools for a tiny table and chairs.

Last, we put in a small wooden house that we made (kit from Lowe's).  It was decorated like a gingerbread house, but the fairies like it anyway ;-)

Oh, we also put in a large shell upside down and made the fairies a pool!

Right now the fairies are inside the house resting from their day in the pool and their wings are drying in the sun.  (everyone knows that fairies can't fly with wet wings)

Have fun, be creative!
