Introduction
Fairies are everywhere but not
everyone can see them. They love
nature so can be found wherever
flowers and plants grow. You can
invite fairies into your home by
creating your very own magical
garden they would love to live in.
This kit includes the items you need
to make a beautiful place for your
fairy to live. Once built, you can make
it even more special by adding your
own decorations.

2. Assemble the Fairy Cottage
To assemble the Fairy Cottage see the
construction guide below. Place the cottage
on the soil close to the rim of the bowl with
the door facing into the centre of the garden.
Then insert the carpet on the floor of the
cottage.
1. Add Soil to the Fairy Garden Bowl
Fill the bowl nearly to the top with some
sieved garden soil or multi-purpose compost
available from garden centres. The soil or
compost should be damp but not too wet.
Firm the soil down to make a smooth and
stable surface.

4. Make a Path
Use the multi-coloured gravel
to make a path from the cottage
door to the opposite rim
of the bowl.
5. Hang Out the Washing
In a spare area of the garden place the
washing line poles about 8cm apart. Make
the washing line by cutting the cord to
length and tying it to the poles. Then
hang out the pink blanket using the pegs.
6. Sow the Lawn
Evenly scatter all the grass seed over the
bare areas of soil. Carefully sprinkle water
over the seeds so that they are damp. Be
careful not to add too much water.

3. Add the Water Feature
Make a small hole in the soil the size of the
Oyster Shell in the kit (you can use a spoon
as a spade). Place the shell in the hole so that
the sides are level with the soil.

7. Add the Flowers and Mushroom
No fairy garden would be complete without a
mushroom, so place the one from the kit in
your garden. Next plant the flowers from the
kit by pushing the stems into the soil.
8. Finishing Touches
Carefully pour a little water into the shell to
make the fairy pond. Water is important to
fairies, so make sure that you wash the shell
regularly and keep it topped up with clean
water.
The Garden is now ready for your fairy to
move in. Place her in the garden, maybe next
to the pond where she can make some wishes.
Finally, sprinkle some of the fairy dust over
the garden to add a little bit of fairy magic!
Your Fairy Garden is now finished, but you
don’t have to stop there because you can
make the garden look even more special by
adding your own decorations and plants…
See some of our suggestions on the next
pages.

Depending on the temperature, the grass will
take about 1 or 2 weeks to start growing.
Place the garden in plenty of light (a window
sill is ideal) and check every day to ensure the
soil does not dry out. Sprinkle more water on
the seeds if needed. When the grass begins
to grow, keep the soil moist but don’t add
too much water as it will make a very muddy
garden! It will take a few days for the grass
to grow into a lawn. To keep it looking nice,
occasionally trim the grass with a pair of
safety scissors.
The great thing about fairy gardening is
that you can add your own features and
decorations to make your fairy feel really
special.
You can see in the images below what can
easily be achieved by adding items from
around your home and garden.

Here are some things you can try:
Fir Cones
Fir cones look great in the garden and
you can also make them into fine looking
trees by using a stick for a tree trunk.
Fences and Gates
You can make fences or gates
from twigs tied together with
cotton.
Real Plants and Flowers
You can add real plants or flowers to your garden
by planting them in the soil. It’s best to use small
plants like daisies. They should keep well as long
as they are watered regularly. You could also try
burying a small pot plant in the soil.
Trees
You can make great looking trees
from twigs or small branches.
Other things!
You can add all sorts of things to your
garden.
You could add some pebbles, shiny objects,
snail shells, sea shells, dolls house furniture…
in fact anything that will make your garden
look special and your fairy feel at home.
Finally, we hope you enjoyed making your
Fairy Garden and creating a magical space
for your fairy…
