Fairy Garden

Have you ever seen a miniature garden? They are so adorable! My 12 year old daughter and I started looking into them last year. Pinterest is a good source of inspiration for such cuteness. We bought some miniature items from Hobby Lobby and had a plan. Well, life got in the way and we didn't get to it then. 

This year I was determined to do this before she gets too old to be interested! So, I went to a local nursery and found some adorable little plants that would look perfect in our little fairy world. We finally finished our project this past Saturday. The results were perfect! She absolutely LOVES it! Now we get to watch it grow and she can learn how to take care of her own little plants. 


We started by covering the bottom of the pot with rocks to help with drainage. Then, after filling in with dirt, we mapped it out and decided where everything would go. We used glass marbles for stepping stones and the water. 

This was such a fun project for us to do together. I hope she will have good memories of stuff like this someday!
