Fairy Gardens Remix

Well, I can't get them out of my mind. And a quick trip to Paul and Sandy's Too garden center this morning did me in completely. They have a display of fairy garden plants and accessories that was too enticing!  I purchased some miniature thyme, some small animal figurines--and a tiny fairy!

 

I was stopping by the garden center to get some fresh potting soil to replant my terrarium. I've had troubles with snails in the terrarium and wanted to refresh it with new soil--and perhaps, elinimate the snail eggs.

 

Why not make it a fairy-rum?

 

 

I took cuttings off the plants in the old terrarium

 and added some moss and a bit of the new miniature thyme plant.

 

 

I found a small terra cotta saucer to use as a pool and arranged the objects among the plants.

 

Turtle is searching for water and comes upon a fairy at the pool.

 

I placed the cover over and put the fairy-rum on the glass table surrounded by orchids.

 

I also had larger saucer and enough soil to make an dish fairy garden for the patio.

 

No fairies yet. Or accessories.  Let's see if the plants take hold first:  creeping Jenny, lamium, thyme, moss, and some indoor terrarium cuttings. It's the start of some magical additions to my indoor and outdoor gardens.  Let's see if we can get the fairies to sing!
