Dozens and dozens of dairy houses hidden through the woodland. Some are elaborate and easy to spot, and some are hidden in the trees and underbrush. I always walk away from here with my head buzzing with ideas!
Don’t let the first picture disappoint you! I love to garden and I’ve had this bare/uninspired area in my yard that was begging for attention. I found it to be the perfect place to start a fairy garden for my granddaughter. She’s only 2 years old so she wasn’t super impressed, but I had fun putting it together. Now I continue the hunt for more homes and fairies. Apologies for the blurry “before” picture.
I’m a serial crafter/maker/artist and this might be one of the most peaceful and delightful things I’ve done in a while. I just retired (art/STEM teacher 30 YEARS) and I have no idea where it’s going to end up! I like the open-endedness. My specific goals right now are ground cover and building up the tiny beds with shallow root plants. Any suggestions or ideas will fuel my fairy spirit!
I bought a lil' guy for my garden. What should his name be?
Me and my daughters made our first fairy garden (or should I say beach? Lol) together and it was so much fun! 🤩
Ive been so inspired by everyone’s creations that I couldn’t wait to make my own fairy garden . I spent my first Mother’s Day painting fairy houses with my husband and I’m so happy they can now be on display! Picture in comments☺️
So does it count? Maybe more of a Fairy’s garden than a Fairy Garden?
ETA. Yes, I’ve have a drill and there are drainage holes.
I made up little neighborhood names for each zone
Picture 1- Mushroom Manor
Picture 2- The Sweet Tea Inn
Picture 3- Tulips Terrace
Picture 4- Woody Hollow
Picture 5- Camellia Crescent
Pictures 6, 7 and 8 are just larger shots of the area.
For those who have an outdoor fairy garden especially, what kind of lights do you use in your garden? (ie: string lights) Thanks!
I’m often stuck in bed due to chronic illness, this is my bedside fairy garden. 🧚♀️
First two are between my bed and the wall and third pic is at the foot of my bed.
Started recently so definitely will be adding and upgrading over time.
This is the first hobby I’ve had since becoming a mom 6 years ago. I am not particularly creative or inventive, so I am surprised I enjoy this as much as I do! I like every part of this hobby: planning, landscaping, tidying after the rain, tidying after the rain, tidying after the rain… re-landscaping, and improving my little garden with new additions. I delight in imagining the gnomes are my sons, sitting and sharing a laugh.
I currently have two gardens: the main garden in an area that receives sun most of the day, and a second smaller garden with partial shade from the palm trees.
I don't call it a fairy garden. I call it a tiny village. this was the first picture I took this spring, so excuse the mess. Have been building this for the past five years or so. Hope to share more soon!
Since my first, not very good, photo was appreciated, here's a few more photos of my village. These were taken last fall.
