10 Out-of-This-World Ideas to Make a Fairy Garden This Spring

Spring is just right around the corner and you know what that means: it’s time to spruce up our gardens — and invite the magical people in!

The tradition of creating magical fairy gardens date back a long time. It is said that if you build and grow one, those magical little people will come in — and perhaps bring you luck in the process!

Back in the days, fairy gardens used to be as simple as outdoor digs set up right in the backyard, usually on mossy patches or on hollow logs and then added in with a few natural elements such as toadstool tables and the like. Every year, it seems that people get more and more clever with their decoration ideas and fairy gardens become more adorable than ever!
