Want a garden but don’t have the space, time, or money? Or you want something that can be easily maintained all year? Try a container minature ! Purchase some fun miniatures to set the tone of your garden – realistic, whimsical, romantic, etc. Great miniatures can be purchased online (or favs are below) or at your local craft store.
Choose a suitable container, something with a large enough surface to place all your miniatures, and then start planting tiny plants and other goodies. Use stones, twigs, and more and make buildings, bridges, and more that fairies would use to get around.You can also use everyday items like a thimble for a washbasin (think “The Borrowers” which is a fabulous series of books to listen to or read-out-loud while you’re building your garden), feathers for bedding, etc. Bring in tiny pine cones for trees, pebbles for paths, etc.
Use colored or pebble aquarium gravel for paths, ponds, streams, lakes, etc. (it comes in an amazing array of colors) or colored craft sand, or a mixture of both. Craft sticks make great fences (use a little craft glue or a hot glue gun to hold them together) and building siding (make a covered bridge, house, church, etc.) with them. Then use acrylic craft paint or stain them for a finished look. Or go for a more rustic look and use a hot glue gun to glue River Pebbles onto houses, fences, and more.
Sheet moss makes realistic grass that’s the perfect scale and succulent plants work well in s and are easy to maintain. You’ll also find other houseplants that stay small (especially when pinched back). Your local gardening store should have a selection of tiny plants that will work well. Go for different sizes, shapes, and textures for the most appeal. Don’t have a green thumb? Use artificial succulents for worry-free gardening.
s are a fun project for kids or for a family – they’ll love creating their own magical world!
