Fairy Gardens

I love fairy gardens! I have seen these gardens on Pinterest for years and never got around to creating them until this year. These fairy gardens were created using leftover planters from the previous years, fairy figurines/pots/rocks/misc purchased from Dollar Tree, and inexpensive herbs and plants from Walmart, Lowe’s, and Home Depot.

Fairy Garden Updates – May 2021

I have decided to go with a faux fairy garden for my front door because it’s an area that does not get enough direct sunlight in order to sustain normal plant life.

Fairy Garden Updates – August 2018

Due to the extremely hot Summer this year, half of the trees and plants within several of my fairy garden sadly died! One of the biggest mistakes was that I reused several of the potted containers from last year and didn’t replaced at least half of the soil with new soil and fertilizer such as compost. So the soil lost all it nutrients and became compacted at the bottom of the container killing the plant roots. Lesson learned, always replenish previously used soil! With that being said, I had to disassemble several of the pots and relocated them.
