Love this! So fun. I love miniatures, and fantasy, and combined with gardening it's a home run!

My Granddaughter found this whole 'Fairy Garden' idea on Instagram. She came to me and asked me if I had anything to make our own little fairy garden with. Well, today we were out and about and we found some wood, bark, stones, and mosses. We are planning on using an old Happy Meal Mc Donalds box, and covering it in different things. She is excited and can't stop talking about it. Thanks! This was the cutest little house! :)

[@FoodieGardenerDiabetes]

Thanks Ofrancyfranzy0! Gardeners and crafters are really making this a popular project! Do you garden? What do you grow? Shirley

[@FoodieGardenerDiabetes]

Wonderful! Thank you. In case you are interested, I have another channel- Garden World Report and my latest, Garden Makeover TV!

[@MsSBVideos]

I want to make one. This is great for inspiring creative writing! You can ask a little girl to write about the fairy who lives in the garden. Oh, and how much does it cost to make a fairy garden?

[@Rukirome]

Please make a video of what plants are good for these. Like names and info.

[@FoodieGardenerDiabetes]
