How to make a fairy garden.
Are you in love with the idea of building a magical garden where enchanted creatures come to dance in the moonlight? Do you want to create a private space for fairies to visit while you are away? If you want to learn how to create a fairy garden, look no further. We have curated a list of fairy garden ideas to help you design your very own charming space.
Before you can learn how to make a fairy garden, you will need to select the place you want to create it. There are a number of locations where you can place your fairy garden. A few of these include:
- In a flower bed
- In a planter
- In a raised garden bed
- In an empty birdbath
- On a tree stump
- For a large scale version, you can create a life-size fairy garden in a corner of your yard
Tip!
If you intend to use plants in your fairy garden, make sure to pick a container with good drainage.
You can have a fairy garden without the fay themselves! Start growing your collection of spirits and sprites. We have thousands of fairy statues and sculptures to suit your needs. So you can create a whole colony of whimsical figurines to inhabit your special space in no time.
What would an enchanted world be without adding a few woodland creatures here and there? We have a range of animals including deer, squirrels, and dragons, as well as plants and flowers (mushrooms are a good go-to). Of course, you have to include a few garden gnomes to complete the look.

Whether you intend to make the fairy garden inside of a planter or you just want to have flowers around, fairies are known to live amongst the flowers, so you will need blossoms aplenty. Pick from pots, urns, barrels, and even statue planters for a whimsical feel. Use miniature fairy sculptures and greenery to turn the pot into a tiny magical realm.

To keep things playful, select a lovely wheelbarrow planter. Using one of these for your fairy garden ideas provides a simple and fairly low-effort but entirely effective display. You can dot small nursery pots throughout the wheelbarrow, or plant flowers directly inside and create your mythical scene from there.

If you like to play with miniatures, then why not extend that to creating your fairy realm? Use an outdoor terrarium planter to create a quaint enclosed world that is visible from the outside. Opt for minute pixies that can fit inside, or instead little ones to sit outside their tiny glass house. Be sure to use the aptly-named fairy lights to add a little sparkle.

If you want to use a space in your yard, try using pavers or cobblestones to create a private nook for your fairy garden ideas. Lawn edging is another way to designate a secluded spot to your sylph friends. Add some faux-moss to your collection of winged figures, and fill up any spaces with live plants to give it a mythical forest feeling.

Birds and brownies go together, so be sure to give your magical folk access to avian friends. Create a life-sized fairy garden by placing a bird bath with some extra-large fairy statues to give a picturesque feel. Add classic country decor accents like an ornate outdoor bench, an arbor covered in fragrant roses, and pathway lights for a spellbinding shimmer.

If you want to know how to make a fairy garden based around a specific feature, choose something iconic like a fountain. The babbling water is the perfect spot for the fairies to gather around and go for a swim. You can choose to go life-size with your statues or keep it to the tiny decorations, as long as you express yourself. A wishing well is also a cute addition for your fairy garden ideas.
