Another day—another faerie garden. As my outdoor faerie garden gets demolished, my indoor faerie gardens take shape. Our contractor (finally) came today. (2016) Dave removed all houses, etc. that were in harm’s way (thank you, Hubby) and that little outside garden looks very sad. But I am cheering myself up by remodeling another little indoor garden. This one is in a round basket. Like all of you, I am learning by doing. I do not recommend round baskets; at least not baskets that have inward sloping bases. This one is pretty and I really like it. But it is difficult to water plants near the outside edges without water leaking out, and deeply rooted plants really need to be in the center, where it is the deepest. If you have a spot where it can be viewed from any angle, then by all means plant a “tree” in the center and put your accessories on the outside edges. For the next incarnation of this basket, I may well do that. I have a coffee table and it might be fun, if I can find a small lazy susan, to see what I can do with it.
