Do YOU Believe in Fairies?

Do you believe in fairies? When i was a little girl (batang bayot) i truly believes in fairies! Since there are going to be fairies in our lives., i had to make a special spot for them to come and visit. We love flowers and garden fairies so we had to make a special Fairy Garden.

First, i had to have a plan so i drew a picture...so mao ni akong drawing ...SURPRISED!

You can see i knew exactly how i wanted my Fairy Garden to look.
I took a trip to the nursery and bought a variety of plants varying in shapes and texture. I was very good at picking the plants out. I knew I needed moss as a ground cover , something soft for the fairies to walk on. I also needed very small rocks for their path, so a pretty colored pea gravel would work for that.

Since I needed a few structures to add to our garden, I took a walk to the park with scissors and a bag. I went on a adventure choosing straight twigs for the gazebo and fences and bendable branches to make a garden arbor.
Here is the result of our little Fairy Garden that I named,"The EDZ Fairy Garden."

You can see from the pictures that I used a large ceramic pot. After making this one I would use a pot at least the size of a wine barrel. It will give you much more room to add things as you go. I had to eliminate the idea of a shell bath for the Fairy Queen and a clothes line to hang their fairy clothing to dry after they washed it in the pond. Your imagination will totally take over, trust me on this. I see many other Fairy Gardens in my future.

Suggested steps to take:

Make a drawing or plan
Decide which container you will use
Buy a variety of plants and ground cover
Try making your own structures using natural materials
If natural materials are not available I am sure Michaels would have some things to use in miniature
Place plants where you think you want them to go and then plant the plants first.
Next do the mossLast, add the garden path and the pond. Now you are ready to place your structures
Remember to name your Fairy Garden. Now you have to wait for the fairies to arrive.

Fairies usually come out some time after midnight and before dawn. Since my Fairy Garden was named the EDZ Fairy Garden I was sure they would leave something like crystals behind and maybe a rose petal or two from swimming in the pond. You know they dry off with rose petals. The next morning when i woke up, i went to see my Fairy Garden and guess what? There were three crystals and two rose petals on the moss and even a flower floating in the pond. I do believe in Fairies, how could I not?. What a fun day it was!

Hay! kapoy ug lupad-lupad tugdong sako projek sako diri sa akong fairy garden with matching emote ko nganhi! PAKKKKK...
