(maybach.com) A fairy garden or a pixie garden is a miniature kind of garden with a mini version of living plants and herbs, decorative pieces of furniture, potting soil, huts or towers and much more. This kind of garden has probably originated in America and later got contagious to peoples in countries like the Uk, Australia, Canada and the neighboring countries around them. The beauty of this mini garden will definitely grab anyone’s attention. There are a lot of people who took it as a hobby.

You can build any kind of fairy garden you like as there is no necessary rule applied to such gardening. Although some people might say that “this kind of fairy gardening is a kids activity” but it is not true at all. The amazing part of this type of gardening is that there is no age restriction, anyone can dive into it and bring out the pearl of creativity from deep down their images. If you are planning to do this fairy gardening activity with your kids then you made a right choice. This kind of activity will help them to learn new gardening techniques as well as help them to put the things in an orderly manner.

              You might be wondering that “where will I find all the accessories I need?” and I would say, you don’t need to worry as all types of fairy gardening accessories are now available online in different sites as well as in local fairy gardening stores around you somewhere. But I would suggest that, if international fairy day is approaching then wait for it. You will find a variety of fairy gardening accessories at a relatively low price in the fair or exhibition of international fairy day. Below I am going to share with you ten of my favorite fairy gardening ideas that you can build together with your kids and have a great time!

1.    Multiple-level fairy garden

Fear not! Though this fairy garden looks massive and complex actually it is not. Just make sure that there is a proper drainage system in each level by drilling holes in the riser (steel can), saucer and terracotta pots, so that water can flow smoothly from top to bottom.

                From the top to the bottom,

10 inch Saucer

10 inch Clay Pot

6 inch Clay Pot (turned upside down)

8 inch Saucer

8 inch Clay Pot

4 inch Riser (can w/ drilled drainage holes)

4 inch Clay Pot

Note: secure the pots in each level by sticking them with adhesives onto one another at a plain level.

                Soil

The best choice of soil for most miniature garden plants would be the regular organic potting soil mix containing perlite. This soil mix will provide good drainage as well as it retains enough moisture and nutrients the plants require.

               Plants

When picking plants for your fairy garden, it is important to choose the plants by keeping in mind the spot you are going to place your fairy garden. It is very important as different plants require the different intensity of light and water. It would be wise if you pick small leaved and slow growing plants.
