Building a miniature fairy garden is more than purchasing adorable decorative figurines and items; it is also important to research plant material and understand care. But don’t forget to get creative and have fun!

The basic idea of fairy gardening is gardening in miniature, creating the appearance that tiny fairy creatures have taken up residence in your garden. This is a perfect opportunity to let your creativity run wild, and let your inner child out to have some fun. This is also a great chance for the children and grandchildren, to be part of the process.

What is the best place for a fairy garden? Most sources say it should be slightly hidden, at the base of a tree or an out of the way corner of the garden to create an element of surprise and discovery for visitors to your garden. Incorporating small plants into the scene increases the feeling that the space is inhabited by tiny fairies.
