Okay I am an older gal and I still like Fairy Gardens, heck my whole entire (rented house) house looks like a storybook house. It is an old fashioned looking old house kinda a coloring book shape. It lends itself to a country doll house look and boy oh boy all the statuarys of frogs and rabbits are galore. I know have kids pinwheels going as well, and now my big passion is rounding up mushrooms. I was out at a Pirate Faire and this one vendors cottage had a side yard that was an entire mushroom fairy garden...and now my mission is to collect as many mushrooms as I can find. There are so many things you can add to your garden..and being as creative as you are I am sure you don't need any recommendations from me..but here goes a few for others who are interested Mushrooms, little fairy's and gnomes, garden mice or moles statuary, small frogs. Oh the list goes on you get it...sometimes Rite Aid has small garden statuary...small ones that are itsy enough for your fairy theme. Recently Rite Aid has these tiny elfs that you hang on the edge of your pots (pot hangers) but I saw one that was kinda being suspended by its elastic string that had the price tag...and it gave me the idea to suspend some hanging from limbs of the dwarf orange tree...kinda like being suspended from their pants so to speak. A long time ago I bought these porcelain figurines of little children and they were suspended by their pants oh wait just looked at them their shirts soo cute (only about 2 inches) kinda gave me the same idea. I think they were called the Children of the Twelthtrees something like that..sorry I rambled on so.

Love your choice of plants, might as well get best hosts to share space with. How do you overwinter your pots?

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.

Oh no....... I am so sorry to hear about this! You worked hard all summer and just added those beautiful petunias———ma nature does her own thing that’s for sure. I am happy that your hostas are happy and maybe you get one day without watering! :-)
