    Fairy Tale Fairy Garden To Add A Bit Of Magic To Your Yard

    Our front yard is bursting with whimsical fairy goodness this year! The girls and I had so much fun choosing out the flowers and accessories for this year's spring fairy garden!

    We went with a fairy tale theme and think that it turned out simply magical.

    I'm not an expert, by any means, when it comes to choosing flowers and plants that grow well together. We visited our local nursery and browsed the rows and rows of annuals and perennials. We simply chose our favorites, ones that we thought coordinated well together, and flowers that preferred full sun vs. shade. We picked out flowers in varying heights to add interest to our garden and even found some ground cover greenery to look like flooring.

    The girls picked  the accessories. MyFairyGardens.com has a darling line of coordinating Fairy Tale themed fairy garden supplies. This darling carriage was our main focal point. They also chose a bird bath, tiny bunnies, a flower, and some colorful bunting.

    We filled our planted with potting soil and got started!

    The girls carefully removed the plants from the containers and loosened up the roots.

    The purples from the flowers popped and the greens really made it look like a lush garden, perfect for attracting fairies.

    Once the Fairy Tale elements were added, the garden really came together.

    We gave our garden a good watering and placed it in one of our flower beds. We enjoy seeing it every day and sharing it with each and every friend who comes to visit.

    I ordered my fairy garden supplies from MyFairyGardens.com. They have such a great selection of houses, animals, furniture, and everything to create the perfect garden in miniature form! You can find fairy garden supplies at craft stores too, but the variety just doesn’t compare, and our package shipped to us within a few days! Since we met the minimum threshold, shipping was free too.

      Adorable! I just got all of my fairy garden goodies out of the garage from being stored for the winter. I even picked up a few small sedum plants at a local garden store to use already - I'm ahead of the game. I also like your choice of flowers, a nice combo of short and tall foliage. Great job and thanks for sharing at #HappinessIsHomemade this week!

      Cute and colorful! I've seen the things to make one at Joann lately. Might have to spruce up the potted plants on the back patio.

      I have a half barrel planter that's just waiting for a fairy garden transformation. This is the inspiration I needed to get it done, thank you! I love the little colorful pennant bunting and fairy accessories especially.

      Oh my this is too precious!

      When my boys were young we had a little gnome garden. It was so fun planting flowers and adding gnomes and nick knacks to the garden.

      When I started working I replaced real flowers with dollar store fake flowers which made keeping up the garden very easy.

      This is so beautiful! What gardening zone are you in? I think if I tried to do this, we are still in danger of frost in Northern VA.
