Are you trying to recreate an enchanted look with fairy gardening in your backyard? Are you looking to create a whimsical space outside?

You can make it a family affair, getting everyone involved in creating it and you can pull it off with these amazing fairy gardening ideas.

Theme

Fairy gardens should tell a good enchanting story. You need to set up a good scene and your imagination should take care of everything else.

Rather than doing impulse shopping for gardening supplies and hoping it works out in the end, you should consider choosing a theme first. Next, you can pick the exact supplies that fit that theme and proceed to create a magical garden right in your backyard.

Scale

You need to decide on a proper scale to make sure all the accessories for your fairy garden are in the right proportion. You don’t want to make the mistake of getting a giant chair with a small table that doesn’t fit or tiny houses but massive plants that look ridiculous.

Once you have chosen a good theme, you need to decide on a proper scale that makes your enchanting garden beautiful. Otherwise, everything will be odd and mismatched.

Choosing The Best Plants

Do you want to add a few living plants in your fairy garden? There are a few choices you need to make. For instance, will you make it an indoor or outdoor garden? Do you have a specific style in mind? You need to find the right plants for your garden to make it enchanting.

Start by doing a lot of research online or ask for advice for people who have actually pulled of a magnificent fairy garden and make yours look as good too.

Find The Right Accessories

With a good theme and scale in mind, you need to start accessorizing your garden. You will notice that the décor items for a fairy garden might become a bit expensive.

To save a little money, you can make your own designs using polymer clay. It’s cheaper and you can design any fairy characters and accessories with simple online DIY tutorials.

However, for the tough designs such as figurines, you can always purchase from the gardening store. You will have a lot of fun deciding between numerous fairy characters that bring out the best look for your garden.

Do The Work

With your fairy garden accessories in place, it’s time to start recreating the look. You need to make everything cohesive and make it alive. It’s simple enough depending on the theme you have in mind.

Make sure that from the moment someone walks into the garden, they can narrate the story from your favorite characters.

A few things to note with your fairy garden include the following:

  • When choosing plants, make sure they don’t overpower the fairy characters in the story. Choose plants that will not wither in the climate.
  • When choosing accessories for your garden, make sure they can withstand the weather elements. With a little rain, they are bound to wear and tear but you can repaint them accordingly. When in doubt, you can always opt for an indoor miniature garden for the ultimate preservation.
