Hurry up! The kids are occupied with school, spring break is done, the holidays are over, and summer fun hasn’t started yet. Can you interpret it for me? Now that the moment has arrived, we can all concentrate on the tasks we have been putting off. Everybody has a few things that aren’t as important as they once were, whether they be hobbies or house projects. But finally, this transitional season provides some quiet time for DIY projects, cleaning, organizing, and yes, gardening! I can’t wait to get my hands dirty this spring creating some brand-new container-based little gardens. This is the perfect moment if you’ve always wanted to build your own fairy garden or extend your little kingdom! Go for it before the weather becomes too hot, before the kids leave school, and before that list of things to do grows larger again. I’ve compiled a brief list of the necessities. Print off this list the next time you visit your local greenhouse or go online to load up on little plants. Even in a pinch, it serves as a quick and simple cheat sheet of the supplies you’ll need to make your own fairy garden. dirt Most likely, fairies come to mind when you think about fairy gardens. However, I like to begin with the earth, which is what really gives a plant life. If your tiny garden is going to be planted in a container, look for premium organic potting soil. Consider using a porous medium, such as cactus soil, or adding gravel or coarse sand if you want to grow cacti or succulents. Three parts potting soil, two cups perlite or pumice, and two parts sand is an excellent general ratio. In the end, the soil you choose ought to complement the little plants in your garden. You may be confident that you have chosen the ideal soil for your plants with just a little investigation. Here’s another useful hint: Make sure you fill your container with dirt all the way to the rim before starting to plant. Otherwise, after your first watering, you can be left with a sunken garden! container You may want to hold off on creating a fairy garden in your backyard for the time being if this is your first experience with little gardening. There are many different container solutions available for gardening that will be placed inside your house or on your patio. Certain gardeners even choose for unconventional containers such as hollowed-out logs and disused washtubs. But for a first fairy garden, or one made on the spur of the moment, all you have to do is make sure the container has enough drainage. Water will not collect in the pot if there are tiny holes on the bottom. A surplus of water may rot roots. Use a small pot if you are designing a zen garden or showcasing air plants. Sand or pebbles may be placed on cement plates and other shallow containers; they won’t become too heavy. tiny plants Without little plants, what would be a fairy garden? Consider your USDA plant hardiness zone before purchasing vibrant flowers, verdant groundcovers, and other plants. Depending on where you live, some plants are more likely to flourish outside than others. Although your neighborhood greenhouse may have plants for your fairy garden, I suggest looking online or at a greenhouse that specializes in small plants. Selecting little plants with moderate growth rates that suit your container well is important. One of my favorite aspects of the process is shopping for small plants! useful tidbit A simple and fast approach to add variation to your garden is to plant four-packs. Make careful to start with the bigger plants and small trees. then add groundcovers and smaller plants to fill in the gaps. If you want to add stones, gravel, or sand, make sure it stays separate from the soil by using a piece of cut black plastic or weed barrier once all the plants and accessories are in place. Finally, but most definitely not least, you could wish to choose a few little figures and decorations for your garden. Keep an eye out for other features such as stepping stones, bridges, tables, seats, little doors, and fairy homes. No matter the size of your container garden, they will really bring it to life. So, start working on it! Summer will soon be here, with its bustling schedule. Enjoy the ride as always, and happy gardening!
