I first read about fairy gardening from a blog several years ago. Generally, fairy gardening is where one creates a miniature garden space (may it be in a little box or in a space set aside in the outdoors) for little gardeners to imagine and create a special world. Of course, one doesn't have to have a fairy in the garden, but it would be nice. I think fairy gardening is a wonderful way to get little ones to learn about and get interested in gardening.

The thought of fairy gardening has been percolating in the back of my head and I've been wanting to start one. I really wish my sisters lived closer so that I can share the joys of fairy gardening with my nieces and nephews. At the very least, I wish I could create a little fairy world with my youngest sister, since I think she might be into this kind of stuff.

Lol! Maybe I will create a fairy garden especially for Yoda. Thanks for the idea, Mein.
After 33 years, I'm starting to love gardening however I suck at it. Everything I plant dies or turns brown eventually. I still haven't given up. I would love a fairy garden to share with my boys esp when my boys are young.

Kia, next time I'm in town, we can try and start something for your kids. I think it would be fun.
How wonderful it would be to share with young ones and to get them interesting in garden. Thanks for the idea! CG
