Double-Tier Fairy Garden

An indoor fairy garden can be enjoyed year-round, and this one from @momster_nessa_ is double the fun. The two-tier serving tray allows for two complementary gardens.

The lower garden features a bridge crossing over a glass stone river, while the upper garden displays an adorable fairy house. The stick-and-string ladder lets you easily access both levels.

Why we like it

Besides the distinctive container, the design isn’t crammed with too many things. “Choose one item, such as a plant, fairy or accessory, and design the garden around that focal point,” says Bawden-Davis.

In this case, the fairy house made of sticks is the main element.

Planter Fairy Gardens

Terra cotta planters make great fairy garden vessels because they contain the miniature objects and can be moved around your outdoor space as needed.

These gardens from @tami_omalley include succulents, tiny river rocks and fairy accessories from the dollar store. The little ponds were made by painting a Mason jar lid blue, then filling it with clear glue to create a water effect. Clever!

Why we like it

The portability.

“Ensure that the pot is located in the correct light exposure for the type of plants,” Bawden-Davis says. “This will change throughout the year, so you will likely need to move the fairy garden depending on the season and as nearby vegetation grows.”
