When we saw that our granddaughter was interested in faerie gardens, and always wanted to help in my faerie garden, we decided to build a garden area just for her. We planted a Rising Sun redbud, a fast growing and pretty tree, in the center of her garden to give it shade. It can be hard for a little person to reach all areas of her garden, so we decided to do a circle design so she could easily reach all areas. The faerie houses that we bought for her were mostly resin so she could move them to her heart’s content without worry of breakage. In past years, she came over probably at least three times during the growing season. She and I would go to the garden center and she would pick out flowers, then we would come home and plant them. This year, however, she couldn’t come over due, of course, to the pandemic. And I wasn’t able to start on her garden until late in the season, so it doesn’t look quite as nice as I would like it to look. But I have a good start and next year, between the two of us, it will look pretty good.
