The Ultimate Guide to Making Your Own Fairy Garden
Hello Gardeners! Last week, Gardener Kelsey participated in a Fairy Garden class at Graf’s Growers in Akron, OH, accompanied by her 'little sister' from the Big Brothers Big Sisters® Program where she volunteers. She was looking for a fun, creative, hands-on way to dig into some fresh plants and embrace the arrival of spring.
For those of you gardeners who are new to Fairy Gardens, a fairy garden is a miniature garden usually created in a potted plant or outdoor space, designed to evoke a whimsical and magical atmosphere reminiscent of a fairy tale. These gardens typically feature tiny plants, miniature accessories, and decorative elements such as miniature houses, fairy figurines, tiny furniture, pathways, bridges, and other whimsical decorations. They can be as simple or elaborate as desired, and are popular among gardeners of all ages as a creative and imaginative gardening hobby.

Today, Gardener Kelsey will share some of the knowledge she gained from her class and guide us in crafting our very own Fairy Gardens. What's delightful about these enchanting displays is that you can utilize an indoor potted plant or fashion a fairyland in your backyard.
Gardener Kelsey's Tip: When designing Flowerpot Fairy Gardens, incorporate pathways and cozy corners to enhance the realism of the miniature elements.
