fairy gardens

Miniature enchanted plots

Fairy gardens are miniature landscaped scenes, typically in containers or small outdoor plots, designed as if tiny fairies might inhabit them.

They feature scaled-down plants, tiny furniture, diminutive houses, and whimsical accessories like mushrooms and pebble pathways.

Popular as crafts and children's projects: She spent the afternoon building a fairy garden in an old wheelbarrow.
