Endless days and warm nights -- gardening season is here! What better way to kickstart the season than starting a brand new fairy garden project? And what better way to start your brand new fairy project than with a family-friendly activity?

Fairy gardening is a great way to get kids in the garden in a fun, engaging way. The avid gardener knows that gardening is a versatile, low-impact workout, so as well as it being perfect for calm days, it’s a good way to get your kids up and moving during the long summer months.

Fairy Homes and Gardens carries many fun pieces that kids are sure to love, such as our kid-friendly Flower Fairy Secret Garden collection, but you don’t have to limit yourself when it comes to your fairy garden inspiration. Need somewhere to start? Here are our tips to building that first fairy garden with your kids.

Nowhere to Start? Start with a Starter Kit

It can be a bit daunting to dive head first into fairy gardening with kids if you’re used to approaching it a certain way. Fairy gardens are usually themed, so having an open mind when coming up with displays with your kids is key. We recommend checking out a fairy garden starter kit that includes everything your kids will need to set up their first scene or display.
