A popular theme amongst gardeners at the moment is learning how to make a fairy garden. Whether you want to make a fairy garden for yourself or your kids, there are plenty of ideas to get you started!
Ways to Make a Fairy Garden
If you want to create a fairy paradise in your backyard, there are three key elements to think about:
- Design. A fairy garden should be natural, not formal, and preferably a little bit wild!
- Eco-Friendliness. There is no place for chemicals in a fairy garden, which should be wildlife friendly, full of recycling ideas, and preferably organic
- Magic. Add enchantment with statues, displays, water features and other fairytale features.
So why make a fairy garden? Some people want one because they love fairies. Others want to make an enchanted garden for their children. Those who believe in fairies wish to attract more of the Small Folk to their home. Whatever the reason, a fairy garden can be both beautiful and kind to the planet, as well as teaching kids about nature and growing plants.
The Secret to Making a Fairy Garden
What is a successful fairy garden? One that looks beautiful, grows and blossoms, functions organically and looks like a fairy paradise. And if you believe in fairies, like me, then one that attracts lots of them!
But where to start? There is so much to think about, from combining the different elements of air, fire, water and earth, to choosing the kinds of flowers that are fairy-friendly. Wildflowers are a good start, so do some research and find out which plants are native to your area. Think about how to add features such as pools of water, secret hiding places and fairy faces peeping from the foliage.
