This is a fairy garden I made last night because I wanted at least one part of my garden to look pretty this year. It has creeping thyme, woodruff, lemon thyme, fairy daisies, and seathrift. What you can’t see yet are the teeny elfin sunflowers I planted behind the bench and in the empty spaces around the little fence. These will grow to a height of 6 – 8 inches with sunflower blossoms only 4″ across. The sunflower seeds from it were the teensiest seeds!

It was kind of expensive doing this utterly from scratch. It was $15 for the plants, $10 for the soil, $18 for the pottery bowl, $10 for the pedestal, $11 for the furniture, and $4 for the garden pebbles to make the path, so $70 total. It’s 18″ across, and the pedestal took the place of the bird bath among the lavender. I’ll move the birdbath to another location, but I haven’t decided where, yet.
