Mini Garden
Crafts · Outdoor Living
They are everywhere.
Cute fairy gardens.
I have grandsons, keeping them in mind
(they call me YaYa)
I am using one of the How to Slay a Dragon characters.
I lined the aluminum pan with the rocks and added the Miracle-Gro Cactus soil.
Remove the succulents and place in the soil.
After the plants were placed I added sand to create a path, a small bag from Dollar Tree (I did not use all of it).
I positioned the lucky bamboo at the end of the path.
I used a sheet of green moss to line a glass and metal tray, placed the roasting pan in and tucked the excess moss around it.
I bet you thought I was just going to have a roasting pan sitting around with my mini garden ;) in it.
It looks like a large moss bowl with a mini garden growing in it.
Cute, but not complete.
And then this guy showed up.
He just makes the garden come alive!
Go do something fun and unexpected!
That’s what I did!

Super cute! I was just looking at my empty flower pots this morning as I woke up with a cut of tea on the patio. Sad. lol I love this!
That is just so cute, Debbie! Thanks for sharing!
Love it! My kids would adore adding figures to our garden, although they might make them "walk" which would be problematic!

I have to admit that I did think you're were going to have a shiny tin foil roasting pan sitting on your table. I should have known better. It came out very cute and the monster guy is a hoot!
It's quirky, fun and fabulous! You are one fun Ya Ya - you are probably the envy of your grandkids friends!
Love the big, burly caveman - hopefully he'll keep the garden tended!

This is so great! I feel like I could actually put this together! Pinning!
That is so cute! The caveman was the perfect touch!
Fabulous
That is so stinkin cute Debbie. I want to do something fun now with succulents. In fact, I was thinking on that the other day. They are kinda hard to kill.
This will make a fun Mother's Day Gift! I'm going to get started right away!
Oh, I am definitely going to try to make one of these myself with your inspiration. What a great fairy garden you made.
Super cute! My son would be all over this! i could totally see a little battle taking place in the garden!! :) Sharing this on our facebook page!
