Create a Magical Miniature Garden

Miniature plantscapes known as fairy gardens enchant Midwest gardeners. Here's how to make your own.

Whimsical treasures

This container, made at a mother-daughter fairy garden class, holds tiny handmade accessories such as a bridge and wheelbarrow made from craft sticks. Plants include sweet alyssum, tufts of Scotch moss and a blue-flowered lobelia.

Fairy gardens should have a hint of whimsy. Use seashells as birdbaths; place a pretty marble on a golf tee to represent a gazing ball. Buttons or bottle caps make fanciful stepping-stones.
