Make a Fairy Garden

Between pocket gophers and the drought, I admit I'm garden weary. 

I needed a garden success so I redid my mini-gardens.

Take a minute and let's redo a mini-garden together.



If you are garden weary too, you might also visit a public garden or local California wild place.

Visit for inspiration or a bit of nature's calm and let someone else worry about the watering.

Mini-Gardens or Fairy Gardens

Sometimes you just need to have a little fun. My sister and I took a class to create “Fairy Gardens” or mini-gardens in a pot.

In my mini-garden, I landscape and create my own little manageable garden. 


I made little hearts to decorate for Valentine’s Day and a Tramp character to go with the cocker spaniel Lady that my sister had given me.

Even if you have a confined space or limited mobility, a mini-garden in a pot is a growing living environment that can reconnect you with the beauty, wonder and constant change of nature.
