A fairy garden is one if the best things that can happen to your house. The first time I did a fairy garden was when I realised that there’s more to just placing plants and stones in the garden. A fairy garden will change the way your compound looks and will take everything to a different level.
If you’re planning to do a fairy garden and it’s your first time, there are enough ideas that’ll get you started. Most of these designs are easy and you can do them with some time in your hands. The best thing about fairy gardens is that you can do them on a tight budget because they’re not that expensive.
You might have surfed the internet for the best fairy garden before you arrived here. Ive got 15 fairy garden ideas with different looks entirely. Youll find different types from rustic to floral and even ponds, there’s just so much you can do. Without further ado, let’s check these magical fairy gardens out.
1
Plant pots have become a life part of most fairy gardens as people find them very easy to utilise. These pots can be big or small, it depends on how big you want the arrangement to be and hope big your space is. Opting for a bigger pot means that you want to do something very big there.
If you’ve got a big plant pot, then you should be able to recreate this easily. This small garden can be easily be created with shells, ornaments and a plant that comes in the pot itself, this one is beginner friendly and it’s also cheap to organise.

A mini house is something that you’ll see alot, this arrangement is alot different from the usual fairy garden setup as it requires a bit more skill to pull it off. It’s an arrangement that will take a lot if time but will be worth it when you’re done.
A lovely mini house with plants as its roof is a magical look you’ll just love to try out. Small pebbles are used as the pavement and these pebbles are shiny, if you’ve ever used pebbles for decoration, you’ll know how magical they make that place look.

This looks like a very complicated setup but slowly you’ll get into it. An entire home setup is usually the hardest as it takes a lot if time to get it right. I’ll try to do a post on how to redesign a setup like this from scratch, its really not that difficult.
A mini bridge will bring out the real fairytale look, I’ve never this a bridge setting that does not look magical. They’ve used small stones to decorate round the bridge, i personally would have loved to use pebbles instead if stones.

Just remember that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, that broken plant pot you’re about to throw away is what some people are looking for. You’ll not believe how important these broken plant pots are until you see someone else utilise them.
They’ve layered three plant pots from the biggest to the smallest, the bigger is closer to the floor as it provides more balance. They’ve used stones to form a staircase that connects from the floor to the top. The main arrangement is done at the top but the rest are also beautiful.

It’s time to start gathering those colorful stones you’ve been overlooking because they’ll come in handy. Pebbles and stones are the most used items whenever I’m doing a garden decoration and i never miss them for my fairy gardens.
They’ve used stones the for the roof of this mini house. I’ve done something similar but with small pebbles which were alot harder to glue. As always, pebbles are best for the pathways. Flowers on the side of the pathways is an ideal setup.

A rustic fairy garden setup will be the most artistic one for me, I love a rustic setup so do t ne surprised if I call this my best. A rustic setup will always be relevant because it has vintage qualities, you can have them up for years and they’ll still be relevant.
This mini seating arrangement should be the best idea for a rustic decoration. It’s almost like an outdoor patio, the wooden chairs are on point and the plants around makes it look like a magical setting.

I met with a client who payed for a garden decoration, i suggested that we did a mini pond for him but he was reluctant because he already has something else in mind. After some time, he decided to go with my idea and he has not stopped thanking me.
A mini ponds is one if the most magical settings you can have in your garden. The best part is that you don’t even need a healthy budget to pull it off, it’s one if the best things to do in your garden. If you’re looking for something to transform your garden then this is the one.

If you’ve got a big jar, you have a high change of getting this setup right. This is literally the first glass fairy garden I’ve seen, I’ll surely keep this idea in mind and will look to try it out. Go get those empty jars that you’re not using anymore because it’s time to create something special.
This setup looks easy and doesn’t require much building like the other ones. Get a big jar, place some plants in it and add some small ornaments too. I’ll use colorful plants for my setup because I love colorful plants a lot and I think it’ll be the best for this glass setup.

You’ve broken a flower pot and you’re probably wondering what to do with it, you don’t have to throw it away because you can always use it for something else. The beauty of art is that nothing is really a waste, one broken object can be used to recreate the most artistic item.
Sand is placed in the pot to keep it firm, the pieces are used to create sections for decoration. You’d think that they’d slow down a bit because this is a broken pot, they’ve done the exact opposite, there’s even more designs here than the ones with a complete piece.

If you’ve got enough time and you want to create something that stands out, something that’ll make your guests stop and stare for 10 minutes, this is the perfect idea. A castle is not something I thought I’d see someone do but they’ve done it here and it looks magical.
They’ve gone for a stone castle on a stone planet too, it’s a very firm design that’ll last for years. This stone castle might be hard for me so I’ll just opt for a clay castle, I’m very good with clay crafting so it should be a problem. I’ll also like to paint the castle in different colors.

If you can’t get a planter then you can make use of a stainless steel. Most of the items used in this post are items that we don’t use anymore, which will make the garden even cheaper to organize. If you’ve got a big steel then you don’t need to waste money on a planter.
This is the perfect fall decoration, fall is fast approaching and this is a garden idea you’ll want to try this fall. They’ve use an orange pumpkin house which makes sense because it’s a fall theme. A “happy fall” sign sure tells you what the fairy garden is all about.

Once thing I like about this fairy garden setup is that you can make them in any size you want. If you’re thinking about your space, then you don’t have to because you can always adjust your garden to fit the space you have. If your space is too small then consider going for a mini fairy garden.
They’ve used a small port here and instead of creating a house or a pond, they’ve gone for a pretty simple stuff. Stones, flower, plant pots and small ornaments are what makes up this lovely fairy garden. If you don’t want to go through too much stress then this is for you.

Wicker baskets are one of the most artistic items, I use them a lot for my home decorations so I know them very well. These wicker baskets can be used for so many things so it’s no surprise that they’re being used here. Get a wicker basket and let’s start out garden.
This is a very popular setup, if you’ve been paying attention, you’ll have notice this kind of setup about two or three times. A mini home is the most used design for a fairy garden. The difference here is that this setup is done on a wicker basket which makes it more artistic.

Vintage decor is one of the best and the most sort after decoration style, if you’ve never tried a vintage decoration before, now’s your chance. Vintage lamps are very important and they’re the most used items for vintage decorations, their versatility is unmatched.
If you want to go to another level then this is for you, this fairy garden will light up your space. It’s one of those ideas you’ll definitely want to try out. A vintage lamp, some flowers and lights is all you need to light up the space. This is the definition of a fairytale garden.

I said at the beginning of this post that you’ll find ideas that you’ve never seen before. Most people are used to building from scratch, creating ponds and even using plant pots. A tea cup garden is one thing that’ll never cross a lot of people’s mind, it’s a very nice idea.
Get a teacup, put your plants in it, add pebbles and other ornaments to the mix and you’re done. This setup is the easiest and also the cheapest if you’ve already got teacup (which most people have in their kitchen). The colors on the teacup make the look it even better.
