Comments (3)Sew! I love your big fairy garden. How fun it must be to lay it all out. Did you see my post (about 25 posts before yours here with the great pciture ideas for fairy gardens? The post is titled Fairyland. I think you'd love it....See MoreMy fairy garden. (I think I got it this time).
Comments (14)Carol, The tree is a: FICUS The pink flowering plant in the back is: IMPATIENT The fern next to the large deer is: RABBITS FOOT FERN The 2 low growing light green plants are: BABY TEARS The hanging plant on the right side is: CREEPING WHITE STAR The pot is 12" round & 5" deep. I was told about a nursery in Norwalk, Ohio that sells all mini plants...lots of them....all kinds of minis. I've been thinking about a fairy garden so I went to check this place out. It's called Mulberry Creek Herb Farm. I found this shade loving fairy garden all ready made up that I liked, but it didn't have any hosta in it. So, I picked out a mini hosta, upgraded to this fairy that sits on the rock that I liked better than the one that the pot originally had, added the turtles on the rock and the gazing ball. I than went to TSC (Tractor Supply Co) for some vole killer and just couldn't resist a few of their miniture animals that I saw there. I bought the cute doe & fawn. Also, if you look closely to he left of the hosta, you'll see 3 little raccoons playing. My idea was to buy the pot, plants and figures, but when I got to the nursery I realized that I had no idea how I wanted to put a fairy garden together.(I'm not too visual, I guess) So, I got this already made one and added to it the way I wanted. These are the instructions that I was given: Bring it in the house this winter and put it a cool room with some light. Keep it moderately moist. Fertilize it every 2 weeks. Don't be shy about keeping the plants trimmed back..they're tough. BTW, the total cost of this was about $95.00 I think the smaller the figurines, the more they cost. lol...See MoreHosta corner of my Patio Fairy Garden July 11
Comments (4)I'm happy to hear you are getting compliments. It's well deserved. Sometimes those property managers can be real sticklers, so it's good to hear that your display is appreciated. I do have to say every time I see the ones on that railing, it makes me nervous. We have terrible wind here so that's probably why. Are they anchored somehow?...See MoreMy Patio Fairy Garden on a rainy day
Comments (7)Ken, my chairs are kept indoors. They double as desk chairs! LOL!! Yes, I take time to sit out there and sip wine and watch the hummingbirds! I use Miracle Grow Bloom Booster flower food once a week....See Moreluvs2click
