Fairy Garden


Dirt

With some idea's listed on "50 Posts to make the most of summer", we started with a Fairy Garden.

A few weeks ago, O picked out a plant at IKEA that has been waiting on the counter for a 'home'. 
This became the starting point.
Along with some hints from Laughing Orange Studio on Etsy (check out these amazing Mini Garden Kits! http://www.etsy.com/listing/98131287/fairy-garden-broken-planter-kit

Split Yard

We split the Fairy's yard into a 'stone patio' and 'gardening oasis'.

Stump Stools & Pond

We used some branch stumps as resting stools, re-rooted some basil for greenery and added a little shell for a miniature pond.





At last, we divided O's plant into two sections; placing one in a mini pot on the patio and the other directly into the garden oasis.

The Mini Garden Guru has some lovely little additions that we will have to use to expand and embellish for any local fairies!
