There\u2019s really no wrong way to begin your fairy garden. The point is that you\u2019re interested and perhaps even ready to jump right in! We\u2019d like to welcome you to the fairy gardening family. We hope you\u2019re here to stay (and play) for a long time. Keep reading for a few beginner\u2019s notes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep It Small At First<\/b><\/h4>\n

As you dip your toes into the fairy garden pond (metaphorically speaking now, but we\u2019ll get to real fairy ponds later on), it\u2019s best to keep things simple<\/strong>. Don\u2019t overwhelm yourself. You\u2019ll see impressive fairy gardens out there, but you don\u2019t have to build a fairy wonderland overnight. Fairies are often shy and gentle creatures. They\u2019ll wait for you.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need several types of plants, and the number will differ depending on your container size. Once again, choose a manageable vessel for your first fairyscape. And it\u2019s best to go with the terrarium variety if you\u2019re thinking about an indoor fairy garden. Aquamarine, Watermelon Peperomia, and some moss will look lovely. Don\u2019t forget soil!<\/p>\n

For the outdoors, you\u2019ll probably stick with container gardens<\/strong> but experiment with plants based on sunlight exposure versus shade. We will say that fairies enjoy proportional flowers. Larger plants serve their purpose, but you\u2019re beginning small and dreaming big, right? Consider dainty flowering and leafy plants for your teeny sprites.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Adding That Fairy Flair<\/b><\/h4>\n

Now for the extra fun part! Bring your garden to life! Some fairy gardeners leave fairy figurines out of their gardens. Sure, you\u2019ll see miniature chairs, walkways, doors, and gazebos, but no fairies. Some create gardens for the invisible-to-us fairies, the ones lingering on distant limbs while we work. But we say, bring on all the fairy magic!<\/p>\n

We encourage you to do what you like. But at Fairies Direct<\/em><\/strong>, we think figurines encourage fun and, most of all, new fairies! For example, if you place tiny Sonya and Maya<\/a> in your fairyscape, others will fly in to join the adorable tea party! Pretmann\u2019s<\/i> fairies, gnomes, and friends are especially great for children exercising their imaginations.<\/p>\n
