Decorating the Outside of a Fairy Garden Container

There are many ways that miniature gardeners add thoughtful and creative details to their tiny gardens.

There are many ways that miniature gardeners add thoughtful and creative details to their tiny gardens. I have seen people create their own fairy houses from scratch to mimic gingerbread houses and castles. I have seen intricately detailed homemade bikes made from buttons and wire. I have also seen homemade gnome doors crafted from old horseshoes. There is no shortage in what mini gardeners can do when they put their mind to it. They are all completely dedicated to their craft as well as finding new and innovative ways to dress up their miniature fairyscape to make them different and fun.

A cool new way I saw these crazy and creative mini gardeners upgrade their containers is by adding an unexpected design to the outside of pots. The design could be a part of the scene they are creating for the fairy garden. A personal favorite of mine was a recent discovery of adding soil and planting a fairyscape in a container and then decorating the lower outside half of the pot with stones to build a cobblestone-textured wall. To draw attention to the pot, attach a fairy door to make it seem as though there is a home beneath the fairy garden. What an unexpected touch by creating a fairy house on the outside of a container.

Another way to decorate the container that I thought was different was adding moss to the container – allowing it to grow and cover the pot. This will create the illusion that the space, where your fairy house and miniature accessories are located, is on a slope of a hill, overlooking a community of other fairy homes. I have also seen where some gardening enthusiasts who hand paint their clay pot either to match the selected scene or to add some bright colors to enhance and draw the eye to their miniature garden. My personal favorite is painting a bunch of bright flowers around the outside of the container for a dramatic effect.

Remember when you are planning a mini fairy garden – consider that much of the design speaks to your creative side and change whatever is bland. Have fun by adding a touch of drama to the container or pot, since a miniature garden adds a decorative focal point to the landscape. Take a moment to step back from your garden and study the effect. Is it pleasing to the eye?
