Whimsical Mini Flower Gardens For Kids

Mini flower gardens are a great spring planting project for kids! Customize them to represent their favorite animals or hobbies with these darling fairy garden accessories!

Our spring planting projects continue! I can't even tell you how fun it is to have little girls who love to play with flowers as much as I do. I thought it would be fun for each of them to be able to make a  flower garden---a mini garden.

I found these tiny pots at our local garden center and loved the color and natural look of them. They were $1.50 each and the perfect size for the girls to create their own mini flower garden that represent their favorite things.

Ruby absolutely adores bunnies and Kaylee loves puppies. They were instantly drawn to these fun fairy garden accessories when I ordered from MyFairyGardens.com last month. They each chose a tiny "fairy" house and then picked out mini animals to go with them.

Planting the mini gardens was quick and easy. They each added potting soil to their pots.

Then took turns choosing flowers to add to their pots. We had some leftover flowers from our Fairy Tale garden that were prefect for this project!

They even added a strawberry plant and are hopeful to grow at least one strawberry in their gardens this year.

We left space to add small rocks and mulch to create a garden flooring for there houses and animals.

Then they added the finishing touches. What a darling puppy flower garden!

They enjoy playing in the front yard with their gardens and moving around the little animals.

Their gardens look darling next to their larger Fairy-Tale fairy garden. They coordinate perfectly since we used some of the same flowers and greenery throughout.

Ruby said, "Gardening is hard work, but I like it!" Music to my ears. They each received a little gardening shovel in their Easter baskets this year for future planting projects.
