Our Fairy Garden

The fairy garden is finally done! It was so easy to put together once I had everything we needed.  

I found this plaque the other day and couldn't pass it up...it was perfect for our project.

 

If you were reading last week, you will remember the bench planter I found at the flea market. I gave it a paint job using rustoleum spray paint (my first time spray painting) and can not believe how fast and easy it was!

I used a piece of hard plastic with small holes for the bottom of the planter and burlap to hold the dirt in.

I planted the groundcover close together because I didn't want a lot of dirt showing since ours would be used to play in. These plants grow fast, so you could space them out and it will fill in just fine.

Once everything was in place, I gave the burlap a trim to even it out and make a little skirt.

As you can see, the fairy garden is a dinosaur garden right now.

I'm sure that will change from week to week.

We are having so much fun playing together in this magical place....

Here is a list of the plants I used...

Creeping wirevine for the side of the trellis

Veronica reptans Sunshine

Irish Moss

Spicy Orange Thyme

Dwarf Curry

 Succulents for the little urns

And the little flowers are Alyssum

I found a place that sells accessories here and some garden centers have them...have fun!
