A natural layout, preferably part-wild, rather than a formal design
Homes and food for animals, birds and insects
Compost heaps, rainwater butts and other eco-friendly garden areas
Fairy statues
Trees and natural hedgerows
Sensory stimulation – scented plants, tinkling bells, fairy lights, running water, edible fruits
Tiny houses and secret places for fairies to hide in
A secret area of the garden to play with the fairies!
Inspiration for Making a Fairy Garden
You will probably have a vague idea of what your ideal garden should look like. Everyone is different – you might prefer the quaint flower fairies, or wish to go for a darker, Gothic version of Fairyland.
Get inspiration from the fairies – draw ideas from fairy art, fantasy fashion, nature, and the wild places. Try a theme, such as the seashore or woods.
The hardest part of learning how to make a fairy garden is knowing where to start. Which flowers should I plant? Do I leave the grass partially wild, or completely wild? Once you know exactly what works, the rest is easy, and fun!
I had all sorts of questions when I first thought about making a fairy garden. But once I knew the secrets, it was easy!
Now my garden is flourishing, and not only does it make a beautiful garden to look at, it also provides a magical place for my children to enjoy. Plus it helps fire their imagination and learn about the natural world too!
