Fairy Gardens for Everyone!

Re-visiting some of my fairy garden posts recently, I was inspired to bring a mini one
to a friend's young daughter.

How adorable did this turn out?!!

They are so delightfully simple to make with a cleaned out sauce jar, some plants propagated from my currently-so-overgrown-you-can't-see-through-the-glass large fairy garden, some moss and pebbles from my yard, and a little section of fence!

So cute and simple, there is absolutely no reason not to have...

Fairy Gardens Everywhere!!

And we love it!!! It stays on our dining table and gets commented on frequently. D asked me this morning about planting a wild strawberry plant in there. It was a sweet thought, but I thought it might take over a bit much...

About the Gardens

We are in Maryland in zone 7a, fairly close to the Chesapeake Bay with about 2" of top soil, incredibly sandy soil beneath and clay below that.

With many trees in the back yard, it is almost entirely shaded. During the spring, the "Edibles Garden" gets almost full sun, but once the large tree in the middle of the yard gets its leaves the yard gets closer to 3-4 hours of morning sunlight.

In the peak of summer the front beds receive about 4 hours of intense afternoon sun. In the spring and fall they are shaded until about 3:00-4:00pm.

The deck, because it's at the 2nd story level, gets full sun most of the day for most of the year. We put a variety of pots on the deck that include perennial bulbs, annuals and herbs.

Almost none of our gardens are situated ideally, so we just make due with what we have, experiment and see what accidentally works!
