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 will 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.
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.

8. Add the Flowers and Dormouse
House
Place the Dormouse House into your garden.
Next plant the flowers from the kit by
pushing the stems into the soil.
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 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.

a spade). Place the shell in the hollow so that
the sides are level with the soil.

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.
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.
Trees
You can make great looking trees from
twigs or small branches.
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.
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.

9 . 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…
