Fairy Gardens - June 25th

Dave gave me a gift certificate to Linden Nursery for mother's day and after I had picked out the flowers and veggies that I wanted I still had some extra left over. The girls wanted something they could plant so they picked out what items they would want to put in their own fairy gardens - a fairy garden being a little garden where a fairy would want to live. :)

After we purchased all the little plants we came home and they drew up plans of what they wanted their garden to look like. We gathered pots, dirt, rocks and then started planting. Both wanted a coconut shell for a pond for the fairies. They then surrounded the pond with nice soft moss, some little "trees", a few bushes and a nice little stone walking path.



Dave built a little fairy house for both of them to put in their garden. Mieka occasionally adds a few Little Pet shop items to her garden - a wheelbarrow, pet, or bike. You know - things a fairy would like. :) Marianne also gave both of the girls a fairy guard to watch over their garden. They have both been very diligent about watering their gardens every day and I can't believe how much the gardens have grown!
