Dollar Store Fairy Garden

9/3/2017

 
Picture
This summer is rapidly coming to an end here and it has been a great growing season.  Most of my flowers and plants have done really well.  I have several beautiful pots on my front porch that were not so lucky.
Picture
Most of the day these four planters are in full shade.  I tried several different plants in them but nothing has prospered. As you can see from the photo above the light just does not make it to that area.
Picture
Yesterday I visited my local Dollar Stores and picked up several wooden birdhouses and some small wooden fairy fence.  I was also able to find some artificial cattails and other grasses.  I even looked in the toy section and picked up some frog bath toys and figurines.
Picture
A small bag of polished rocks helps pull everything together.
Picture
So now when you walk up to the front door, you aren't disappointed by dead plants. Instead the pots have some magical whimsy.
Picture
All of it was very inexpensive and it took me longer to shop for everything than to install in the the pots.  This will last until the seasons change and I pull out my fall decorations.
Picture
This would be so much fun to do with children. The shopping trip to your local Dollar Store may surprise you once you start thinking miniature.  There is a wealth of creative possibilities there.  I may even paint the houses or decorate them with some twigs and pine cones in the future.  I hope you have enjoyed this post, share what you learn and are generous with what you make. Someone will appreciate your hard work!
