Plant a Fairy Garden

I went to Sorticulture, a local garden fair, a few days ago in search of some plant starts for my vegetable garden (update coming soon!) and happened up on this cute minature garden done by Two Green Thumbs.

I'm new to miniature gardens, but it seemed like an idea that might be fun for kids. The idea is to plant slow-growing miniature plants and create your own little world. You can complete it with tiny furniture or even small dolls or animal figures. Sort of like an outdoor dollhouse!

I don't know that my boys would be into a "fairy" garden, but maybe a miniature troll garden could pique their interest! Take a look at the Two Green Thumbs website for ideas.
