Chapter 5- How to Select and Place Fairy Ornaments in the Magical Garden

If you are planning on creating a magical garden, you will first want to decide whether to create your garden indoors or outdoors. If you create an outdoor magical garden you will want to make sure that your ornaments are weather proof. There are plenty of choices for fairy ornaments made from stone that will be fine out of doors.

An herb garden is an excellent selection for an outdoors magical garden. As well as having beautiful plants to create your magical garden around you will have the delightful, magical aroma of herbs such as, lavender, rosemary, thyme and oregano. You can use flat stones to create miniature walkways and ceramic bowls to make miniature ponds. There are varieties of miniature herbs such as rosemary which can be used to make trees for your garden.

Creating an indoor magical garden is a great option if you don't have an area outside to do this. Creating your magical garden to scale is easier if you already have your fairy figurines. Using your imagination there is a limitless resource for creating your own special magical garden. If you want to create a small fairy home or village you can use a something like a cookie jar house. Parsley can be planted to create trees and small paving stones can be made from flat stones. If you are particularly artistic, you could paint small flowers on the stones.

Your magical garden could include a small pond, made from a small ceramic bowl. Find miniature plants that you could grow around the small pond. Have fun placing frogs and toadstools around the pool. Having a fairy figurine seated on a toadstool next to the pool gazing into the water would be especially whimsical.

Creating an arbor for your magical garden would be an attractive feature. You could create the arbor using small twigs intertwined together. Moss is an excellent covering that you could place inside or over the roof of the arbor. Inside the fairy arbor, you could make a swing with a ceramic leaf seat for your seated fairy figurine. Use miniature varieties of ivy to create a climbing trellis around your arbor. Place miniature birds and nests in the ivy.

Depending on how much your budget will allow, you can create a magical garden very inexpensively or you can choose to search online for ornaments for your magical garden. There are many websites which offer a variety of fairy ornaments. Also, you can research ideas on landscaping and miniature plants for your magical garden.

Red creeping thyme is a traditional fairy garden favorite. This creates a wonderful ground cover for your fairy garden. You can wind small paved pathways through the ground cover, placing miniature garden items along the path. You can find a selection of miniature garden furniture, such as benches, watering cans, birdhouses and many other tiny garden accessories.

Miniature garden plants also include tiny conifers that can be placed next to your fairy house.
