What is a Fairy Garden? A Fairy Garden is simply a small indoor container garden or an indoor, self-sustaining garden placed near a full-sized tree with small, miniature plants and other items, the aim of which is to create a safe haven for fairies to reside. Fairies can often be hand placed and strategically placed within the garden. The Fairy Garden can be decorated in many ways, but for this article, we will be discussing our 5 favorite fairy gardening tips.
What you must do prior to starting your own garden is research. This will help you find the best fairy garden for you; however, there is one caveat. You should research the types of plants that will thrive in your area, your weather conditions, and any other factors that you know can affect your garden. If you do not do this research, then you will likely end up with gardening that will not be as successful as it could have been.
One of the easiest fairy gardening tips that I can give you is do not plant or seed fairy bushes, ever. These bushes will attract more fairies because fairies are not native to the area where you are planting them. What you can do is, you can purchase artificial bushes that will look like what they look like, but will not grow as fast as a real bush would. This will ensure that you do not attract the wrong kind of plant to your area and that you do not upset the natural balance in your area.
Another tip you can use is to look for all of the items that you need to make your own DIY fairy garden home. There are several products available at your local craft store or on the internet that you can use to make your very own wands. I would suggest that you purchase moss and a clear plastic type container. These two items are the basis of your wands. You can also purchase a variety of different colored silk flowers to decorate your wands with.
Some of the plants that are commonly used to create unique and beautiful fairy gardens are Ivy, tulips, sunflowers, hydrangeas, and other popular plants. You should also avoid any plants that are toxic to fairies. For instance, if you choose to use Sunflowers, then make sure that you do not plant the seeds directly into your flowerbed. This will attract bees and other insects that will ruin your setup. A much better idea is to put the seeds on top of a plastic tarp and place it over the area you want to plant.
When choosing what type of plants that you will use, there are a few things to keep in mind. If you want a wild flower garden, then you will probably want to go with plants that are pollinating and have large flowers that add color to the garden as well. If you choose a planter, then this will probably be a lot less expensive than having a wild flower garden and a lot more maintenance.
Once you have selected what type of plants that you want to use, then you will need to plan where to plant them. First, you should locate the most convenient spot for you to situate your garden. If you are planning on using a planter, then the most important thing is to make sure that the potting soil will fit in it properly. You will also need to choose a spot with some kind of ladder or stairs to get into your potting soil. Make sure that your ladder is either very sturdy or you will find yourself falling down from your beautiful new garden all the time!
