Two Sundays ago, big L and I headed off to Lowe's to buy dirt and plants. We had a good time just the two of us. She picked some awesome looking plants for her fairy garden, we stopped for some ice tea, then came home and got to work!
 |
| We planted moss which should mound nicely as it grows, and petunias. Yes that is a very expensive broken bowl, but doesn't it make a nice bridge and home? |
 |
| We made pathways with little pebble rocks. The broken pot in the back is also a home. They yellow flower is columbine. The little saucer is a bird bath, she labeled everything with a sharpie and a broken plate. |
 |
| That pink flower in the corner is called Cineraria |
 |
| We have a regal geranium to the right of our "tree" and a dahlia toward the front. More petunias. The cup, also broken, on its side is a human house. You have to love her sense of scale. |
She has added a few things since I took these pictures, but I told her to take her time, it is a process. She should find little things and add them as she chooses. I also had to keep reminding her that the plants will grow, and take up more space as time goes by.
I think it turned out nice, and it is making her want to be outside more, which is good. Now I just have to find some affordable chairs for her patio and it will be complete!
