Kids, and most adults, love a traditional fairy garden. A fairy garden is simply a garden that is styled to look like a fairy tale or an oasis in the desert. It’s a great theme for a kid’s play space in your backyard and adds a touch of whimsy and fun. Creating a fairy garden is fairly easy. In fact, it’s so easy you can do it by yourself with a little imagination. You will need to purchase a few essentials before you can start to create that garden of your dreams. Here are the items you will need.
1. A container, preferably white or clear to put dirt in
2. Plants or flowers that fit the theme of the garden
3. Cement (optional)
There are many different kinds of containers to choose from. It’s certain kinds of containers that are better for gardens because they can be used over and over again. A container that is plastic is good because it will not be too heavy after several years of use.
Your best bet is to just go to your local plant store and have them choose some plants that fit your garden theme. This is a budget friendly project and it will get pretty expensive bringing in a rental container.
Next you will need to decide what your plants will be. This part of the process is up to you. If you are a little bit creative you can paint several colors on each plant. Various sizes are usually a good idea as well. Also, you will need to consider what effect you want your garden to be. In a completely Bulk material the plants will appear to blend together a bit better than if they were individually complete.
Next, you will need to decide how it will be portrayed. Various shapes are usually a great idea. A few gardens that focuses on a theme of a person in the desert may value something along the lines of a desert mirror ball. If you are laying out your garden to be a bit more adventurous you may choose a stone fountain. After all, someone has been going through the desert with a fountain in it for ages. If you want to create a grassy area, plant grass, flowers and other plants.
After you have decided the overall Garden design your next step is to find a fountain or statue to fit with the exterior feel that you have chosen. Some great ideas in this area are palms, a large desert southwest type building or something as simple as a gazebo style building. The key is to find the accessories that will complement and bring out the theme of your garden. In real life it is important to look for repeating colors and textures. If you are making a desert style garden, a desert fountain might fit right in and provide a very authentic feel.
After you have the outdoor portion of your garden designed and shaped, you’re ready to get on to the finishing touches. If your garden is aimed more towards an artistic vision, you may want to add some different elements to your garden, such as hanging vines, flowers, and ornaments. For those who actually enjoy a wild or a natural feel, you might want to add rock formations, a soothing water fountain or lighting. Make sure to spread the festivities throughout the garden area and your yard will come alive with a unique feeling. Be sure to include a few wildflowers found in almost any garden. A flower display is a great addition to any garden but it is never to dense or busy.
Gardening can be a wonderful hobby that will allow you to relax and enjoy the beauty that nature smiles upon you with beautiful flowers and plants.
