Picking the Perfect Fairy Garden Container
- Artful Containers:Fairy gardens thrive in the world of container gardening! You can develop your foundation in a small space and then expand as desired. Whether it's a detailed fairy garden nestled in a tree nook or a simple pot filled with succulents featuring a fairy or two, all you'll need is a touch of creativity, a sturdy pot, thoughtfully selected plants, and a few fundamental notions for your fairy kingdom.
Raid your garden shed for repurposed materials that can be reimagined as a fairy garden container. Construct a woodland oasis with a babbling brook, bridge, and quaint woodland dwellers. Young children may prefer a farm scene, train theme, or a fairy garden featuring their favorite character.
Sprucing Up Your Container's Scene
- Planning the Miniature Adventure:Sketch our your ideas before diving into the project. Choose a focal point for the fairy garden, and let the decoration tell a story as you add accessories and plants that best suit the design's scale. Don't forget to consider extending the effect to include a spilled flower pot or 'stacking' your fairy garden within a split level or multi-level series of pots.
Figure out a theme for the fairy garden, and look for inexpensive accessories at dollar stores, garage sales, antique shops, or big box stores. Craft stores offer a variety of accessories and figures, though they may be pricier.
Get inspired with items found in your backyard. Small stones, sticks, round seedpods, slices of small branches, and even popsicle sticks lend themselves to intriguing additions.
Crafting a Container Fairy Garden
- Deciding on Your Fairy Kingdom:Fill the container with a high-quality potting mix and arrange your key accessories, ensuring you're happy with the overall design. Add core elements such as bridges and stairways before the plants. Place tall plants towards the back and shorter options at the front. Use moss, tiny-leaved plants, or other decorations near fences or stepping stones.
Here are some plant suggestions:- Hen and chicks: Succulent rosette shapes- Polka dot plant: Popular houseplant with colorful variegation- Elfin thyme: Creeping herb with small leaves- Gold cone juniper: Slow-growing conifer with a columnar habit- Dwarf lemon cypress: Tree-like foliage- Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears': Miniature hosta that stays low- Zebra Haworthia: Succulent with an upright shape- Miniature ivy: Small-leaved, trailing plant- Dwarf mondo grass: Low-growing, miniature ornamental grass- Irish moss: Evergreen, low-mounding foliage resembling moss- Asparagus fern: Upright, plume-like foliage- Violas: Small flowers similar to pansies- Jade plant: Slow-growing succulent with an upright form- Gray lavender cotton: Upright form with grayish-green foliage
Carefully water and fertilize your container plants to avoid dislodging the accessories. Place your finished creation in a spot where it can receive attention and add to the magic of your outdoor space. For added stability, use sturdy pot feet or similar support for stacked containers.
