Fairy Gardens

A few weeks ago, a local garden center had a week dedicated to celebrating fairies. In our household, fairies are celebrated on a daily basis, so this festival was one we fully embraced.

Part of the festival of fairies included discovering hidden fairy gardens nestled within each beautiful palette of flowers.

My fairy lover was MESMERIZED.

Each section we explored there was a touch of fairy whimsy waiting to be discovered and celebrated.

Something about these quaint miniaturized houses tucked in lush bits of greenery...

It makes you want to believe in the magic of fairies.

It makes you want to carefully watch...

and photograph...

hoping you'll glimpse a fairy.

Gardens are certainly beautiful places on their own...

but, when you add a bit of charm in miniature form...

gardens are transformed from beautiful...

to mesmerizing.

Our day ended with a hands on opportunity to create our own fairy garden.

With a few upgrades, we brought home our very own fairy garden.

Unfortunately, these fairies would rather dance on log slices and fish from sea shells than tend to the plants. Our fairy garden plants are no longer lush and green but the fairies don't seem to care. Since they obviously don't have a green thumb (much like myself), our fairy garden will soon be turned into a succulent fairy garden.
